All students can customize their education using digital content through an approved provider.
Digital learning allows an individualized educational experience.
In today’s world, learning doesn’t have to start when a student enters the classroom and end when the school bell rings. Students can access digital learning virtually whenever and wherever they are – both physically and figuratively.
Access to a comprehensive catalog of online courses means a student in rural Indiana or inner city Detroit can learn Mandarin Chinese, forensic science or college-level calculus – regardless of whether their school offers these courses in a classroom.
With personalized learning, students can spend as little or as much time as they need to master the material. Self-paced programs mean high achieving students won’t get bored and can accelerate academically, while struggling students can get additional time and tutoring to gain competency and the confidence that comes with it.
Digital learning can extend the school day or school year and connect students with community resources with little or no additional cost. Flexible scheduling allows students to take full advantage of their peak learning times to complete lessons. To mitigate the cost of extending the school year, states could provide digital content 365 days a year but limit instructional support to shorter timeframes.
Best of all, students can experience blended learning. Students can learn in an online or computer-based environment part of the day and in traditional classroom, even one-on-one tutoring, for part of the day – essentially the best of both worlds combined into one education.
