HI 4 KEY 0-4 metrics achieved 5-9 metrics achieved 10-13 metrics achieved QUALITY CHOICES The e-learning advocacy group Digital Learning Now! has created a report card for each state, rating digital-friendly policies and practices from coast to coast. Each report card provides numerical ratings in 10 different categories or "elements of high-quality digital learning." Each element is scored based on a number of metrics-72 over all the categories. The map featured here highlights each state's rating for offering quality choices for digital learning. The number given to each state reflects how many of the 13 total metrics have been achieved in this category. The quality-choices category evaluates states on measures such as whether state law authorizes digital providers; whether a state offers public options for digital learning: whether funding is equitable for any form of virtual school (public, charter, or for- profit); and whether a state has a website to provide the public with information about digital learning opportunities.
