Board OKs changes to Idaho online learning rule


This article is from ABC 6
The state Board of Education is approving changes to a rule requiring high school students to take online courses to graduate.
The rule hit a snag in the 2012 Idaho Legislature, where education groups protested a requirement that one of the two required online credits be taken in the form of an asynchronous course. That's a class where students move at their own pace and interact with their online teacher as needed.
With a synchronous course, students and their instructors are online together at a scheduled time.
