The Future of the IEN? What can we learn from the past and present?
• Wyoming Model–Heavy focus on K-12 to K-12 delivered courses
• Utah Model—Heavy focus on Higher Education and Dual Credit.– 20% of concurrent enrollment credits were earned through
distance education.• Dakotas—Half the schools have less than 100 students-
Consortia Approach
