BY LAURA DEVANEY, eSchool News

Many educators turn to online and blended learning solutions to offer alternative solutions for at-risk students. The most important attribute of a successful online or blended learning program is a “rigorous and engaging curriculum,” according to participants in a recent study. The fourth annual Fuel Education (FuelEd) Benchmark Study, conducted by MDR’s EdNET Insight, also sheds light on why districts are turning to online and blended learning programs, their implementation best practices, and how they measure quality of an online program. Those surveyed also said successful online and blended programs need the following:

presence of student progress tracking and reporting tools

measurement of student progress with initial and ongoing assessments

instructors who are well-trained in delivering online courses
