Summary/Direct Quote
Another advantage of online high school courses is that these classes can easily take advantage of the resources on the web. For example, if an online course is about art, the course can include links to websites that feature this art. If the course is about American history after World War II, the course can link to YouTube videos of JFK's inaugural address or old episodes of //I Love Lucy//.


 * Homeschooled students. Parents of these students can choose courses in areas where they lack familiarity.
 * Athletes and other students who are away from the school building a significant percentage of the time. Online classes can be taken "on the road."
 * Students who are ill and away from school.
 * Students who have trouble in a traditional high school classroom setting.
 * Students who failed a class and need to make up a requirement.

In addition, online courses can be very interactive. By taking advantage of technology, these courses can include interactive quizzes, polls, timelines, and exercises to help keep students engaged and interested. Finally, online courses can potentially provide an alternative for students who don't function well in a traditional high school classroom environment.
