This document discusses research on primary and secondary e-learning. It begins by providing a brief history of distance education and e-learning in North America. It then describes the roles of teachers, facilitators, administrators and others in an e-learning environment. The document also discusses characteristics of successful e-learners and tools to predict their success. While research on K-12 online learning is limited, certain teaching strategies and practices like formative feedback have been shown to be effective. The key points are that technology alone is not enough and must be combined with new teaching approaches to improve education.
