What are Virtual Schools
Virtual Education, Cyber
Education, On-line Education, E-Learning, Mobile
Learning, and Distance Learning, are all terms used to
describe the same entity. Virtual education is
best described as a learning opportunity where the
student and the educator are separate from one another
by space, time, and often both. The educator
facilitates learning of subject matter through an
on-line classroom environment that can include but are
not limited to: multimedia resources, internet, video
conferencing, webinars, simulations, and other
alternatives. The students work through the
curriculum at various times and locations.
Asynchronous learning occurs
when the student and educator work on their own time and
pace, but most often within a framework schedule.
Synchronous learning occurs when the educator and
student are in the learning environment at the same
time. Virtual Education can contain both
asynchronous and synchronous opportunities of learning
and instruction. Overall, virtual learning
has become extremely successful and popular due to the
ability to meet a diversity of needs for students based
on academic placement, future goals, personal
lifestyles, and different abilities.
