Study Finds That Online Education Beats the Classroom - Bits Blog - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Some of it was in K-12 settings, but most of the comparative studies were done in colleges and adult continuing-education programs of various kinds, from medical training to the military.

      I think that this fact is VERY important if one is going to draw a conclusion for K12, dont you?
  • “The study’s major significance lies in demonstrating that online learning today is not just better than nothing — it actually tends to be better than conventional instruction,”

      I would agree, as long as we're talking about colleges and adult learners, but I don't think we can naturally draw the same conclusion for k12 where the learners are less intrinsically motivated.
  • But the report does suggest that online education could be set to expand sharply over the next few years, as evidence mounts of its value.

  • “People are correct when they say online education will take things out the classroom. But they are wrong, I think, when they assume it will make learning an independent, personal activity. Learning has to occur in a community.

      Really? Well, if that's true, THEN can we get the social learning tools like Diigo, unblocked in school? Or, must schools ignore the evidence and continue plodding along in isolation?

    I would agree that for colleges and adult learners it might be, but I'm not convinced that the same holds true for K12.

    How is YOUR district prepared to handle this?
  •  
    Learning has to occur in a community, eh? If that's true, THEN can we get twitter, skype, Flickr, youtube, Diigo, etc unblocked so we can take advantage of that community?

    VERY significant, don't you think?
