Boise State University
Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive examination of the literature surrounding
the current state of K–12 distance education. The growth in K–12 distance
education follows in the footsteps of expanded learning opportunities at all levels
of public education and training in corporate environments. Implementation
has been accomplished with a limited research base, often drawing from studies
in adult distance education and policies adapted from traditional learning environments.
This review of literature provides an overview of the field of distance
education with a focus on the research conducted in K–12 distance education
environments.
