Blended Learning: New Solution to an Old Problem | Getting Smart by %author_name% | %tag% - 0 views

  • We can provide every student in America access to great teachers, but that won’t happen in a traditional classroom (as Public Impact has so clearly spelled out)—it will happen when we leverage talent with technology and blend the best of online and onsite learning.
  • To power these new models that combine local and national resources, Digital Learning Now calls for educational funding that is weighted, portable, and performance-based.

The Evolution of Digital Textbooks - Digital Education - Education Week - 0 views

  • "It wasn't the music business that was dying," he said. "It was the CD business." Similarly, the textbook isn't necessarily going away, said Bridges, but the form is definitely changing.
  • "We are already producing online materials that school districts can't even use fully because of the challenges they have [with professional development and infrastructure,]" said McFall. But while schools may not quite be ready to make the transition to fully digital content, the revenue from digital resources grows each year, and currently makes up more than a third of Pearson's sales, said McFall.

How Professors Would Fix Textbooks - 0 views

  • One reason why paper textbooks cost so much is because publishers need to recover their costs of producing new books in the first or second semester, Brady said. That's because the books end up in the used book market after that time, where publishers don't get a cut. And digital textbooks have kept a similar high-priced model, he said, which encourages students to break the encryption on them or stick with paper books because they can sell them back.
  • And videos, of course, can't be printed.
  • By using the HTML5 online content language, Brady hopes to give students cheaper instructional books that will give them all their material in one place. And the material will be updated in near real time.

  • Brady plans to embed video tutorials and interviews with business leaders for what he calls a "learning book" on logistics and supply chain management. If his group finds enough funding, the book would be updated with real-time information and would sell for $15 or $20.
  • Brady's idea is a good one, Buttross said, though Brady isn't the only one working on something like this. He would actually like to see Brady's learning book have 40 modules so that he can pick the 16 he wants to use in his class
  • "I think that in general you shouldn't sell books," Buttross said. "You should sell modules and let professors put together their own books."
