Taking the Lead with e-Learning

Regardless of your political affiliation or what type of educational system you and your family support, there is always great concern for the ways in which the youth in our country are educated. This year has certainly been no exception when it comes to the visibility of worry
regarding education and how it is delivered to and received by our future leaders, workers, innovators, creators, and educators.

If the presence of widely-released and viewed educational documentaries is any indicator of today’s concern for learning, this must be a time of intense educational scrutiny. A handful of films are making their way in front of the viewing, interested public this year and the theme is failure of traditional public education. Where the blame lies (at the hands of administrators, lawmakers, teachers, parents, etc.) is a discussion for another day. What can nearly universally be agreed upon is the large number of severely damaged, underperforming, public school districts within the nation’s public educational system.

The answer to improving the public education riddle does not involve the installation of one glorious solution. Rather, many options and solutions lie out there that could improve the many different approaches to education. Complex and varied options must be put in play to begin
repair of the education wound. Resoundingly, the push seems to be a move away from the traditional approaches and status quo.

One example of alternative educational success, and thus an avenue for improving public education system performance, is online education. Especially in the case of Ohio’s largest online learning school (Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow or eCOT) and its supporting electronic
infrastructure (IQity), public electronic classrooms have begun to prove their merit by producing results. Ohio’s eCOT graduated nearly 2000 students in 2010 and is consistently rated as one of the state’s top districts in improving its students on a year to year basis. The
ability for online learning to fit the lifestyle needs and demands of busy or specialty-needs individuals is certainly a feather in the e-learning cap.

Advancements with the software platform and server infrastructure on which the online learning systems reside have provided an express avenue for momentum in the e-learning arena. More intuitive user controls, also known as dashboards, have been combined with Reactor, the nation’s most robust learning material library, create an electronic environment not only for the future, but for NOW. And none of this would work effectively without a staff of certified teachers that bring it all together and offer the personal attention required for a positive education experience.
