In India, a company called ITC which manufactures and markets packaged whole wheat, has set up what something called E-Choupal, which actually helps farmers from interiors of India to sell their produce on the Internet, bypassing agents and thus getting a better deal. The point here is that even uneducated farmers are using the online medium today - there are plenty of talented youngsters in these remote areas who could benefit from online higher education.

[...] “According to recent studies in neuroscience, the way we learn doesn’t always match up with the way we are taught. If we hope to stay competitive-academically, economically, and technologically-we need to rethink our understanding of intelligence, reevaluate our educational system, and reinvigorate our commitment to learning. In other words, we need ‘disruptive innovation.’” http://disruptingclass.mhprofessional.com/apps/ab/about-the-book/ [...]

Hi. FLVS is a more complicated story than you are telling here. For instance, they received a full time student equivalent for funding for each student they enrolled. To keep the local school districts online, the school system also received a funding as if the student was enrolled.

Another detail. They developed most of their technology and content inhouse, not relying on the private sector.

Let me add that I think highly of FLVS and I think they are a pioneer and model of the future.

Just wanted to share a video we made at our school that was inspired by the thoughts in Disrupting Class. We’re not there yet, but are moving in the disrupting direction. Hope you enjoy.
