Session Summary

Implementation, Outcomes, and Equity Implications of Online Instruction for Credit Recovery in High Schools

Sat, April 18, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Digital learning has expanded rapidly at the secondary education level, primarily utilizing an online delivery system to provide “anytime, anywhere” access to course content. Although more than three-fourths of school districts are using online learning (primarily for credit recovery), we lack evidence on its implications for equity in access to quality educational opportunities and student outcomes. With many school districts targeting students who are struggling academically for online course-taking, the potential for differential access to quality learning experiences between online and traditional learning environments could have profound implications for equality. This symposium examines the implementation, quality of educational content delivered, and outcomes of online course-taking in high schools, with attention to equity issues for students and school districts.
