Opening Up Education – Table of Contents – The MIT Press

Opening Up Education – Table of Contents – The MIT Press.

An excellent resource, available as a series of pdf’s.

I must admit that sometimes, I’m overwhelmed by how much material for learning is available through the web.  I’m torn between my desire to read it and keep up, and my need to have a life away from the computer!

A report from the “…the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) and the Sloan National Commission on Online Learning, which gathered survey responses from more than 10,700 faculty members and 231 interviews with administrators, professors, and students at APLU institutions.”

Over at The Chronicle, you can follow the discussion on this.

When courses were first put on line, the students reported that the best thing about them was that the content was better organized. I suspect that’s still the case.

Good teaching is good teaching, on-line or off.

There’s also WPBook, which can embed your WordPress blog into Facebook and create an application that students can add. Check it out.

Now, this is getting interesting.
