Description
INTRODUCTION Offshore online tutoring is a fairly new phenomenon, an innovative application of information technology to create a new e-business model. Some of the impacts of online tutoring are readily apparent; for instance, the convenience will appeal to many consumers while quality would be a concern for many. Our goal in this paper is to promote a healthy debate about the impacts of offshore online tutoring on the educational system of the recipient country. We present the case of one recipient country, the United States. With the ongoing public outcry regarding the state of the public school system in the United States, several legislative actions have been taken over the decades to address problems in the system. The provision of supplementary educational services, included as one solution in the No Child Left Behind Act, has uncovered opportunities for these offshore online tutoring organizations.
