Homeschooling goes mainstream

Education is being enlarged. More choices, more options. F2F, augmented, blended, online learning, etc are enlarging options for learners and educators to deal with individual, personal needs and contexts. Much like content is fragemented from large holding structures (newspapers, books, courses), the entire education system itself is breaking into muliple specialized choices. For example – homeschooling goes mainstream: “Home education is now being done by so many different kinds of people for so many different reasons that it no longer makes much sense to speak of it as a political movement.”

    Online learning has definitely had a significant impact on education. It is therefore not surprising to find that home education is influenced by the abundance of information available via online portals, programs, and utilities. As time goes on, the internet and online learning will undoubtedly continue to grow in prominence and be relied on by various models of learning.
