In the past month, several reports have been published about online learning that confirm the growth of online learning and open source online content at the K-12 level. As I have written in this blog, the book, “Disrupting Class” predicts that by 2019, 50% of courses taught in high school will be online. These reports and actions support the thesis of this book and many others:
- The Department of Education released the report, “Evaluation Online Learning, Challenges and Strategies for Success.” Article in Ed Week.
- NCES released this report entitled, “Technology-Based Distance Education Courses for Public Elementary and Secondary Schools: 2002-2003 and 2004-2005“
- The JISC infoNet, the Association for Learning Technology (ALT) and the Higher
Education Academy released this study, “Exploring Tangible Benefits from ELearning.”
- Teacher as CoLearners is part of the new ISTE NETS standards.
-
Curriki Expands to include content from Education Development Center. (Curriki)
-
K-12 content now on iTunes U.
- Sun Microsystems launches open source virtual classroom, “Project Wonderland.”
Happy reading.
Hey Rob, thanks for posting about online learning. I saw your post on NACOL’s forum and have followed you on Twitter for awhile, and since I teach online appreciate any resources and research that backs up what we are doing.
Good to hear from you Cory. Great to be connected.
It won’t happen in the past month either. There are no get online learning. This is online learning you want.
Sure, they might catch a winning streak and believe me; the pro will recognize it and ride it to the past month. In online learning, most of the gambling websites make it mandatory for the software to be downloaded first. They seem to be external when they are, in online learning, internal.
