Florida Virtual School Moves Toward Blended Learning Model

Education Week (10/24, Davis) reports that the Florida Virtual School, the largest state-sponsored virtual school in the US "is venturing into a blended learning model that is in growing demand. The move is in part the effect of market forces, as the FLVS strives to meet the needs of school districts, and in part the evolution of the blended model, which mixes face-to-face instruction and virtual learning. Facing state-mandated class-size restrictions and a state requirement that all students take an online course before graduation, districts are turning to Florida Virtual to help meet both those obligations."
