Online learning, both in homeschooling and part of traditional classrooms, has become a significant part of the educational experience, but at what cost? Researchers at The Center on Online Learning and Students with Disabilities at KU recently released “Equity Matters: Digital and Online Learning for Students with Disabilities.” The report looks at how online learning impacts students, specifically those with intellectual disabilities. “What most people don’t realize is that online learning is growing immensely in K-12 environments. In fact, what our state policy scan found is that if you are a parent anywhere across the United States, and including five territories, you can actually enroll your student in an online education environment, which means a student can sit at home and actually attend school through the computer. This opens up immense implications for how we educate students,” said James Basham, Special Education professor at the University of Kansas.
