How Much Does Blended Learning Cost? -- THE Journal - 0 views

  • Many inputs go into the costs behind a blended-learning school: the number of teachers and administrators; their specific salaries; the instructional materials and technologies; student services; and other school operations.
  • The paper reaches the conclusion that the costs of blended learning are significantly lower than the $10,000 national average for traditional brick-and-mortar schools. They find that, on average, the costs range from $7,600 to $10,200.
  • Our own view is that blended learning will and should help schools--and ultimately the public--save money. But the overriding reason to adopt a blended-learning school isn't because of its cost savings, but instead because of the benefits for students that can result. Ultimately blended learning should help schools and policymakers move our education system to a student-centric one that educates children both more effectively and efficiently.

The New 3 Es of Education - 0 views

    Project Tomorrow This report is the first in a two part series to document the key national findings from Speak Up 2010. In this report "The New 3E's of Education: Enabled, Engaged, Empowered - How Today's Students are Leveraging Emerging Technologies for Learning," we are building upon that student vision and focusing on three specific key trends that have generated significant interest this past year at conferences, in policy discussions and within our schools and districts: mobile learning, online and blended learning and e-textbooks. Each of these trends include the essential components of the student vision of socially-based, un-tethered and digitally rich learning, but they also directly address the three new "E's of Education" - enable, engage and empower.

Take the Mobile Learning Plunge - 0 views

  • the transition to mobile learning is not an easy one for most companies to make.
  • Prior instructional design was developed for the PC, not iOS or Android devices, so animations and interactions that work well on a desktop computer do not carry the same functionality on a mobile platform. Additionally, learning management systems exist behind layers of security firewalls that make it difficult for users to access courses on their mobile devices.

axonify review: The eLearning Coach: Instructional Design and eLearning - 0 views

  • retrieval-based learning refers to the repeated recall of newly learned information in various situations or study sessions. It’s been shown to be much more effective than study without recall practice.
  • Spaced learning involves learning or studying the same information over intervals in time, rather than all at once, which is known as massed learning.
  • Gamification applies game design principles and mechanics to non-game experiences to increase engagement.
