Since most instituions pursue O.I. as a means of cost cutting (text based presentations w/o instructor/mentor inter-activity) it is no wonder the public perceived this in a critical light. My company IOE, Inc. offers Live instruction with a certified content specialist for secondary educational institutions. We seek to mirror the traditional brick and mortar classroom rather than obliterate it. Pleas efeel free to comeent or contact me at judeobsc12@gmail.com. Follow us on Twitter @IOEDU.
