In too many schools, especially in this time of declining education funding, it is often not possible to offer a large number of courses. Online learning is a means to expand the range of courses and better meet the educational needs of all students. The built-in capability for individual pacing of the course can remove the barriers of students getting behind in courses that move too quickly, or getting bored in classes that move too slowly. It also removes the barrier of not having licensed teachers for a given course; and opens up the possibility of giving students access to outstanding teachers in a given content. It removes the number of classes one can take in a 6 period school day barrier. Finally, it removes the limited/restricted time and day a course can be taken -- gotta love the anytime, anywhere learning. So much barrier-breaking potential in eLearning.
