“Critical Considerations for Teaching Students with Disabilities in Online Environments”
In the article, Critical Considerations for Teaching Students with Disabilities in Online Environments, the authors provide an overview of the K-12 Online Learning Environments.  As a parent, who experienced my child attending online classes through K-12, it is a huge commitment on the part of the parent.  Essentially the parent becomes the coach, and mentor.  The online instructor is a facilitator/teacher.  While it was not a good fit for my son, I can see the promising future in K-12 online classes. 

Above is an interesting table from the article, illustrating the common misunderstandings and the current practices in K-12 Online instruction. ( Greer, et al., Pg.83)
