Online learning is emerging as an essential part of the K-12 education landscape. To meet their educational goals and secure their future as active and productive citizens, K-12 students must have access to quality online learning opportunities in a variety of forms that meet their needs.  

This imperative is reflected in the U.S. Department of Education’s National Education Technology Plan as well as in policy discussions in statehouses across the nation.
