This article juxtaposes remote laboratories to virtual and real laboratories. It highlights how each type of laboratory works, and it describes the advantages and disadvantages of each laboratory.

This article really helped me understand more about the topic and what virtual and remote laboratories are.

It is a great link, where you can find good information.

Virtual and remote laboratories are a new type of laboratories. This laboratories are very safe and don't affect the environment.

According to the latest data, video for homework is on the rise; mobile computing is "beyond the tipping point"; and most kids don't use traditional computers to connect to the Internet at home. Those are just three of the major trends revealed in the 2013 Speak Up Survey from Project Tomorrow, which CEO Julie Evans revealed at the FETC 2014 conference last week. The 2013 results represent more than 400,000 surveys from 9,000 schools and 2,700 districts across the country. Respondents included 325,279 students, 32,151 teachers and librarians, 39,986 parents, 4,530 district administrators and, new to this year's survey, 1,346 community members.

What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing is a web based service that allows workers to access the files and documents needed to do their job or task. Everything that is needed is stored on an internet based center and can be shared, edited and or viewed by anyone who is able to access the designated software program storage.

­Buying computers for everyone isn't enough, you also have to purchase software or software licenses to give employees the tools they require. This tells that cloud computing has many different advantages for users.

This site is essential because it discusses how cloud computing is being used in the cooperate world and it discusses how it saves time and money. When talking about a cloud computing system, it's helpful to divide it into two sections: the front end and the back end. They connect to each other through a network, usually the Internet. This site breaks this process down and makes it easier to understand

This unit examines and discusses the carbon-based environmental impacts of teaching and learning in higher education institutions. It introduces a typology for teaching models that use or do not use information and communication technologies ( ICTs), and explains the factors and activities that need to be considered when assessing the carbon-based environmental impacts of different teaching models.

Very useful link for the people in environmental impact/open content.

This article talks about learning analytics being used in schools and by students and how it is just the "natural progression" of things that will happen eventually. It shows that the uses of learning analytics are going to become common place one day and everyone will be using them.

This article is about how people who are middle skilled are able to receive online education and a virtual job placement.

Interesting example on how much wearable tech has advanced over the years - now with the capability of predicting one's mood based off of an individual's speech pattern and vitals. This could be used in education to measure the moods of students, etc.

This article talks about how the cloud is at the early stages.

This is a really good link that describes how cloud computing works."Some analysts and vendors define cloud computing narrowly as an updated version of utility computing: basically virtual servers available over the Internet." This link also goes into detail about the different types of cloud computing and how it is being used.

This will help you to find better information about the topic

This article weighs out the pros and cons of iPads in school. One con would be that most iPads do not support Adobe or Java flash. This prohibits the use of may applications or videos that require a certain plug in. There is also no USB plugs, it is expensive, the potential distraction for students, and that typing is tricky and difficult to grasp.

Virtual and remote laboratories (VRLs) are e-learning resources that enhance the accessibility of experimental setups providing a distance teaching framework which meets the student's hands-on learning needs. In addition, online collaborative communication represents a practical and a constructivist method to transmit the knowledge and experience from the teacher to students, overcoming physical distance and isolation.

Google has launched its own Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) to teach the general public how to understand surveys, research, and data. Called "Making Sense of Data" and running from March 18 to April 4, the course will be open to the public and, like most MOOCs, will be taught through a series of video lectures, interactive projects, and the support of community TAs.

Libraries are one of the fastest-evolving learning spaces. As many resources move online, and teachers require students to collaborate more and demonstrate their learning, librarians are trying to keep up. Some are even spearheading the changes. Public libraries have led the effort to provide access to 21st century technologies and learning resources, but now university and K-12 libraries are beginning to catch up.

Learning changes. This article explores some of the changes in both technology and education, including game-based learning, gamification, augmented reality, and mobile learning.

Steve this was really use full for me ! Thank you!

This article discusses the effects that 3D printing would have due to it being a decentralized process. This means that large plants and factories that export to foreign regions would not have to exist. Also, he discusses the low costs of energy and labor to produce products.

This talks about how education is growing because of remote labs and how being able to do them online and post what you think the lab showed (optional) it allows students to get different aspects of what should have happened.

This is a description of and list of articles on learning analytics from the 2013 horizon report. It has a large list of useful articles and links for learning analytics.
