interests.

The students highlighted in this report were scholarship recipients from Future of School. This report is a compilation of why these individual students chose online/blended learning and how or why their schools made these opportunities available...

Future of School. (2020, February). Student Perspectives onBlended and Online Learning.
 
Future of School writes in the Introduction "In 2016, Future of School (FoS)1 commissioned a study to better understand why students were selecting online and blended learning options, with a goal of helping educators, policymakers, and others to better understand the value of new school and course opportunities"...

Conclusion
Although educators working with online/blended schools and courses are generally aware of why students selected those options, for most educators their understanding has been based on limited experience from their own schools. This study provides findings based on a larger, more diverse data set, demonstrating the wide range of reasons that students are selecting new learning opportunities.
