Return On Investment

As Arizona made a fresh investment of 2% of our ten year K-12 education costs into eLearningi:

1. A transformationi of Arizona from one of the poorer performing K-12 states into the top 5 and probably number 1.
2. eLearning will generate cost savings from construction avoidance, teacher effectiveness, reduced book expenditures and elimination of one to two years from the current 13 years to graduation. Also teachers will be paid 20% more and have an additional $2,500 each year for professional development and mentoring; full digital curricula individualized for each student; and, as the technology evolves, computer systems refreshed every four years.
3. Every student will have a modern multimedia computer. 300,000 older computers will flow each year into Arizona homes that lack computers, quickly erasing the digital divide.
4. High school graduates will earn five times more in their first year on the job than the entire twelve year marginal cost of their eLearning experience.
5. Arizona will be globally recognized as the eLearning break out state to be replicated across the U.S. and around the world.
6. Arizona K-12 eLearning will provide the foundation for Arizona’s eLearning dominance at all educational levels.
7. Federal researchi funding will flow into Arizona’s eLearning research institutes and laboratories.
8. Higher value eLearning enterprise products and services will flow into global markets and companies, and quality jobs will flow into Arizona.
