What do you see as the biggest differences between how all the different state schools presented themselves (the overall look, not the content)? What do you think accounts for these differences?
State schools present their online course and classrooms offerings very much in the same way. Because state schools are strictly regulated by their respective bureaucratic mandates, the websites for these virtual schools are austere. The sites specifically target state and federal testing standards and try to market specifically to students and teachers to better meet requirements (AP, graduation regulations, and testing specific curricula) through online offerings. The scope of these sites is very much geared towards the qualitative aspect of education and not the quality of what each partnership (i.e. for-profit organization) can offer constituents beyond what is mandated. In comparison some states do differ, but this is an attribute of how the states regulations differ from one to the other across the nation. The overall theme of state online school websites is similar and institutional.
