Week 6: Innovation Adoption S-Curve
This S-curve demonstrates the rapid growth in enrollment in k-12 online courses in the U.S. in the past decade. Little data was available prior to 2001, when an estimated 40,000-50,000 public school students were enrolled. As of 2009, the number had reached an estimated 1.5 million. Data does not include an estimated 7 million private and home-schooled students.
