Keeping Online Learning Safe and Accessible

A panel the Aspen Institute convened on Internet learning released its recommendations Tuesday. The group, which included Jeb Bush, the former Republican governor of Florida, considered ways to ensure that online learning is both innovative and safe, for students of all income levels. The final report calls a focus on all the ways students learn, including from museums, libraries, after-school programs and at home. It also pushes for students to be at the center of new learning networks, and for learners to have the digital literacy to be able to both use online media and to safeguard themselves.
