A rapidly growing program that offers courses, from art history to anatomy, is Iowa Learning Online. It is an enthralling experience in the virtual world for both middle and high schoolers. Though the program doesn’t resemble the quintessential classroom setup, students are assigned a teacher, with whom they communicate. Activities and quizzes are a consistent component of the curriculum, which eventually lead to unit tests. “It provides students with the opportunity, in many cases, to take courses that are not offered at school,” said Dr. Ryan Wise, director of the Iowa Department of Education. “Secondly, it allows for students to work around schedule conflicts, and therefore, offers more flexibility. Third, it provides students with an opportunity to try an online learning environment, which continues to grow it today.” With 1,400 enrollments across the state, Iowa Learning Online prioritizes convenience, while instilling conscientiousness in its pupils.
