Demand grows for online learning

Demand continues to grow for online classes, according to a Speak Up 2009 report from Project Tomorrow, a national education organization based in Irvine, Calif.

More than one-third of high school and middle school students surveyed were interested in taking a class online.

And the percent of high school students taking an online class doubled from a 2008 report, according to Project Tomorrow. Thirteen percent of students took an online class led by a teacher, 12 percent took a self-study course and 8 percent took a course that combined face-to-face instruction with an online component.
