High schools embracing online education
"We were thrilled when we were contacted by the producers at MSNBC," reports Chief Executive Officer, Tyson Greer. "They were interested in our revenue forecasts for online education in the K-12 segment, but also in our 2009-2014 projections on the total number of children attending virtual schools and cyber charter schools."
This report forecasts e-Learning expenditures by eight buyer segments: consumer; corporations; federal government; state and local government; PreK-12 academic; higher education; non-profits and associations; and healthcare.

"The demand for online education products is growing by 17.3% in the PreK-12 academic segment," commented Sam S. Adkins, Chief Research Officer. "The online school providers are experiencing a boom in demand. By 2014, over 10 million school children in the US will be participating in some kind of online education, up from 2.2 million in 2009. I am not surprised this is capturing the attention of the major media outlets."
