After my initial review of these websites, my top two choices would be clearly be
#1 Ohio Connections Academy
#2 Virtual Community School of Ohio.
Both stood above the others using the following selection criteria:
- Clarity and understandability of information
- Look and feel of the DL environment
- Presence of a FAQ page
The Ohio Connections Academy (OCA) website was particularly helpful. It providing details of its overall success ratings, parent satisfaction, college acceptance and external recognition. In addition their FAQ section was particularly helpful and left me with a very good feeling about its values, commitment and available resources. While I was drawn to OCA, I will spend additional time
scrutinizing the qualifications of my top two choices.
The remaining three options, Virtual School House, ECOT and Ohio Virtual Academy were clearly lacking versus the selection criteria. At this point, I will put them on hold regarding further evaluation.
