Class.com

In 1996, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln won a grant from the U.S. government to develop an Internet-based high school curriculum that would work for all students, particularly at-risk learners. Founded in 1999, Class.com carries on that mission, providing courses to a broad range of settings and learning styles. Class.com says it helps students "succeed because they're working...without peer pressure, without fear of failure, and without worry that they can't keep up."
