California Virtual Academies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
California Virtual Academies (CAVA) is a network of virtual public charter schools, founded in the summer of 2002. It is sponsored by a small number of school districts spread throughout California. Since it is a part of the public school system, no tuition is charged and computer equipment is loaned to enrolled students. Students are invited to some regular school activities to compensate for the reduced social interaction as they are not going to a school building each day. Parents still report daily attendance and certified teachers monitor student progress, but beyond this level of support, the experience is close to that of homeschooling.
[edit] Fiction
Some of Vernor Vinge's short stories set around Fairmont High suggest elements of how this might develop, one day, unless our paradigms change meanwhile.
