What Makes a Good Online School?

Many people are puzzled and fearful of online schools. There are numerous low-quality, low-learning, and boring online classes available. However, there are some outstanding online courses that engage students and help them in learning in ways that aren't always possible in a traditional classroom. Most of these excellent online classes share the following characteristics:

• Content for Natural Learning

• Pacing for Students

• A sense of belonging

• Effective Use of Multimedia

• Assignments that are self-directed

• Effortless Navigation

• Additional Exploration Routes

• Suitable for All Learning Styles

• Reliable Technology

• The Surprise Factor

We've built an independent study school at Taylion that combines online learning with close teacher support and learning extensions.
