Using the citizen science model for science education.

Good connection between citizen science and learning, that I did not find so evident in the course content. Thanks!

I have seen some learning management systems for schools with access for teachers, faculty managers, parents and students, that allowed follow up, assesment, connected learning, etc. Of course usability and design were quite far away from what is shown in this video, but for me was very inspiring, and left me with the felling of "we are almost there!" Thank you for sharing!

Fifty startups were launched at MIT in five days, courtesy of a unique experiment "that could reshape existing educational paradigms." Nearly 55,000 individuals are enrolled in the MITx on edX massive open online course, " Entrepreneurship 101: Who is Your Customer?" Of the thousands, the school welcomed 47 to campus on August 18 to participate in a five-day bootcamp-turned-blended-learning-experiment.

An article that contains a link to a video with a nearly 1 and 1/2 hour debate on the purpose of education and the future of online learning. One of the participants is Sebastian Thrun, who is the CEO of Udacity, a service that offers free courses.

Today's learners will be key players in societies and workforces that require multi-lateral and cross-cultural cooperation. Throughout, learn why--and how--virtual exchange programs can lead to empathetic, global, connected learning that prepares youth for tomorrow's world.

A cool vídeo that explains the concept and utility of the connected learning.

About cheating at UCLA as a 'natural' open way of learning

Some of readings in module 2 made me thing of this radio report. It gives an interesting look at gamification in education, focusing on highschool and college levels. While they don't directing talk about open knowledge I think gamification is something important to consider and look at when thinking of alternative forms of education.

A good combination of game and education can definitely inspire more children to learn. So if wen can combine game and education, we may also be able to bring social media (i.e. Facebook, twitter) into our classroom, which could inspire university students to study.

This project, while still in early development, will help those interested in historical (read: ancient) languages learn them outside of the traditional instructional method. Students will gain proficiency in languages through engaging with real materials rather than inaccessible textbooks and through relevant tasks that engage them more deeply in the learning process. It's also part of a larger ongoing project called the Open Philology Project which reflects the growing trend towards more experiential and open models of student learning in the study of ancient languages.

As learning analytics become more and more widespread in higher education, it seems very important to outline the ethical aspect and the framework that has to be considered before talking about this trend.

The book that I share with you is a treasure, is so extraordinary that in it we can find information about universities with high academic prestige just like Stanford University. It covers topics of great interest and dynamism like, augmented reality, game-based learning and global knowledge among others.
