USDE Announces New Guide for Advanced Online Courses
The U.S. Department of Education has launched a new guide for school administrators seeking to provide students with greater access to online advanced coursework. Titled "Connecting Students to Advanced Courses Online," the guide examines a range of issues related to advanced courses offered online, from what services to expect from online providers to how to ensure course quality. The guide examines six case studies of online course providers. In each example, the provider demonstrates how implementing online classes can enrich curricula and enable a greater number of students to challenge themselves. The guide is available online at http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/academic/advanced/index.html.This guide is one of a series of innovation guides produced by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Innovation and Improvement. All guides in this series are available as free downloads at http://www.ed.gov/about/pubs/intro/innovations.html.
