Any time, any place: online advanced placement courses for high school students

Increasingly, high school students in USA are participating in advanced placement courses. Unfortunately, this opportunity is not equitable across the country, as many students are unable to take these classes. By effectively utilizing technology, advanced placement courses could be offered to all students, in all countries, from all socio-economic groups. This paper discusses the benefits and possible disadvantages of students taking AP courses online. However, little research has been conducted in this area. There is a need for further research in the positive and negative aspects of online learning among high school students, particularly those taking AP courses.
