 State of Michigan Improved High School Graduation Requirement
In April 2006, the State of
Michigan instituted unique graduation requirements into the Michigan
Merit Curriculum for the class of 2011 that mandated some form of
on-line learning experience. It is the first such requirement in the
United States. Passage of 2006 House Bill 5606 required that
students have on-line experience integrated with educational
coursework. The goal was to give students access to more rigorous
curriculum choices as well as acquaint them with on-line learning.
It called for a structured learning activity that utilizes
technology with Intranet/Internet-based tools and resources as the
delivery method for instruction, research, assessment, and
communication.
