Financial analysis of MOOCs and potential impact on lesser-known universities...though I think people are still trying to figure out where MOOCs play in the general higher education landscape.

Analysis of MOOCs and how they might alter higher education. Not many more additional topics from the usual concerns, but they do have some interviews with MOOC participants that give the article more of a personal feel.

Kind of building on Jason's post about the Slow Web movement, this article talks about some apps that help you stay focused on coursework!

An interesting breakdown of statistics from MITx's first course last spring. They show some demographic / background information for a subset of 6,000 students who registered for the course (not necessarily completed the course).

Relevant to the discussion we had yesterday in recitation about professional development and the comments from Emily about similarities in technology adoption. Teachers can learn about how to use social media from business trainers, too.

An infographic on technology use in higher education...I kind of get the "tablet sales" feeling like the NMC report.

Someone else over the weekend posted about the U of Wisconsin accepting edX courses as transfer credit--found this other article that a university in Colorado is also going to accept Udacity credit!

Rupangi posted some educational tools for educators below in his link, so here is another post that shows some productivity tools from the student-side.

How soon will robots become yet another part of the educational technology arsenal? Seems like people have talked about using robots forever (Roomba!), but they are starting to come over the horizon (drones, Mars probes, autonomous cars). Perhaps soon into the classroom?

Similar to the article below from Daniel, this article talks about how edX is making progress on the certification of students and final exams.

An interview with Shai Reshef, who founded the University of the People, a free online university. I think one really interesting part is that NYU agreed that students who finished their first year could apply to NYU Abu Dhabi and finish their free education if accepted! So it's like a portal or proving ground...but for a traditional university.

A pilot program in NYC for personalizing education in the classroom

Seems like a not-too-instrusive way to bring technology to the classroom--mostly behind the scenes.
