Educators question taking Rosetta Stone for credit | Inside Higher Ed - 2 views

    The debate about teaching languages online continues - with Rosetta Stone at the center of this article.  With a teacher, without a teacher, with RS or without, the key is still how it is taught and that can differ widely from class to class!

    I totally agree with you. I think that RS is a good tool to use in place of a textbook, but it doesn't change the fact that you need more than a textbook to learn something with great quality. Conversation is key and having someone there to converse with is what helps and increases the learning. If you don't use it, you loose it fast.

      Are there any dangerous to the collaborative nature of this work-style? For example, do people fall prey to "group think"?
  • A recent study indicated the No. 1 reason for a person not to change jobs is based upon having a close friend at the same company

    Eyes are on "the UCLA case," where a university has been sued because it undertook to provide video streams on campus without asking permission from the video rights holders. The case is not likely to be definitive but it raises important questions: What constitutes classroom use of a film? Can an institution sign away its fair use rights? Who is responsible for providing the infrastructure for streaming media distribution at an educational institution?
