  6. Florida Virtual School Changing Misconceptions About Online Learning

Online learning has been an educational option in Florida that has expanded over the last 21 years. In 2017-18, more than 207,000 students took an online course through Florida Virtual School (FLVS), a statewide online public school district in Florida. Although the number of students in grades Kindergarten–12 taking online classes continues to grow, there are still common misconceptions about online learning around topics such as rigor, pace, instructional support, socializing and acceptance.
