As classroom sizes become bigger and pupils fight for places in good schools, could distance learning be the solution. Online distance learning is not a new concept but the idea of a whole online distance school is. The technology is there but whether children will benefit from the experience is another. Online schools would mean children could study at home while gaining access to some of the best instructors. Some early research even suggests that distance education can have the same level of academic achievement as traditional methods. If this later proves to be the case then potentially a lot of money could be saved by moving away from traditional teaching methods in teh future.
