At the forefront of blended learning there are three main organizations: iNACOL, ISTE, and EDUCAUSE.
iNACOL is the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, a non-profit organization that facilitates collaboration, advocacy, and research to enhance quality K-12 online teaching and learning.
iNACOL also has also created National Standards for Quality Online Teaching and produced a Summary of Research on the Effectiveness of K-12 Online Learning.
ISTE, also known as the International Society for Technology in Education, is the premier membership association for educators and education leaders engaged in improving learning and teaching by advancing the effective use of technology in PK–12 and teacher education.
ISTE represents more than 100,000 education leaders and emerging leaders throughout the world and informs its members regarding educational issues of national and global scope.
ISTE is also known as the “home” of the National Education Technology Standards (NETS). The NETS have served as a roadmap since 1998 for improved learning and teaching. They help measure proficiency and set goals for what students (NETS•S), teachers (NETS•T), and administrators (NETS•A) should know and be able to do with technology in education.
EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association whose mission is to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology. EDUCAUSE helps those who lead, manage, and use information resources to shape strategic decisions at every level. A comprehensive range of resources and activities is available to all interested employees at EDUCAUSE member organizations, with special opportunities open to designated member representatives.
EDUCAUSE programs include professional development activities, applied research, strategic policy advocacy, teaching and learning initiatives, online information services, print and electronic publications, special interest collaborative communities, and awards for leadership and innovation.
