  • "And this will make it possible for a professor to complement his lecture with an online exercise, or for a student who can't be away from her family to still keep up with her coursework. We don't know where this kind of experiment will lead, but that's exactly why we ought to try it because I think there's a possibility that online education can provide especially for people who are already in the workforce and want to retrain the chance to upgrade their skills without having to quit their job."

  • Advocates for online learning also viewed Obama's plans as significant. Fred Lokken, associate dean of Truckee Meadows Community College for its WebCollege, said this was "the very first comprehensive effort by the federal government that recognizes the importance of online learning."
  • Catherine M. Casserly, who studies technology issues at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, said she saw the program leading to "a dual approach," in which students could view the new material or community colleges would get well-prepared material around which local instructors could plan instruction
  • "It's very hard to supplement something if the base is being undermined," he said. "We can't look at this as a panacea."
  • Indeed, late Tuesday, that's exactly what Democrats in the House proposed doing, when they announced plans to move ahead soon on Obama's student loan restructuring proposal, which paves the way for paying for the community college plan.

Characteristics of Technology-Based Virtual Learning Communities - 15 views

  •  
    "This article defines 'community' for educators and proceed to examine fundamental issues around new theories and practice for constructing learning communities. Our concept of community asks the reader not to consider the shape of institutions or "schools" that exist today, but to ponder some possible shapes for (virtual) learning communities that could exist tomorrow. Second, we discuss some foundational considerations from theoreticians preparing us to build these communities with technological support. Practical issues around building new communities are illustrated with examples of virtual community types - including examples of technologically supported learning strategies that fall far short of our definition of virtual learning communities. Finally, some tactics for building robust learning communities are offered."
