"In the realm of education, funding and budgets have become tighter than ever before. Regardless of the budget issue some school districts are opting to use an LMS or CMS for course content delivery. Many virtual schools have been implemented at the high school level in an effort to provide optional learning environments for students. The benefit that outweighs the cost of the LMS/CMS is that students are charged a fee for taken these virtual courses."
Kelli,
I hadn't heard of students being charged to take virtual classes. Florida has a virtual school and students in grades 6-12 enrolled in any Florida school district can complete one or all of his/her courses on line--free.
As I read the articles, I was thinking that in a few years the cost would decrease as its use becomes more common. Public education will be forced to utilize some form of a LMS to keep itself competitive with charter schools, which are serving an increasing number of students of public education.
