Sal Khan maintains his vision for education. SAN FRANCISCO - Good news for parents of school-age kids and fans of free online tutoring lessons from Khan Academy: founder Salman Khan has no intention of turning it into a profit-making enterprise. Khan, who has three degrees from MIT and an MBA from Harvard, started out creating programs to help a cousin learn math in 2006.

You can make surgeries like a knee surgery or steem cell surgery of heart. It is an educational web site to learn about medical topics, specially surgeries, it promotes science diffusion and advantages of the different surgeries to people. Este sitio tiene juegos científicos, especialmente médicos, que permiten desarrollar cirugías en línea, la meta de la página es que las personas conozcan los beneficios de algunos procedimientos médicos y que conozcan sus bases científicas y cómo se llevan a cabo. Es un sitio educativo.

Rheingold's video this week got me to thinking about the critical thinking pedagogies that were used by my undergraduate professors. This article demonstrates an in depth glance on what critical thinking pedagogy can look like. While seemingly tangential to open access as a whole, I think Rheingold's discussion of literacies is rather important, and if open access is a successful movement it will need to be equipped with critical thinkers and actors.

I dare also to share this paper which recently appeared on seminar.net. It deals with my PhD project and tries to link open government data with educational concepts, merging a critical perspective with productive approaches. If any other people in this MOOC are interested in this field, I would be truly glad to discuss these ideas and read/hear your opinions about it!

Using game like concept to teach kids and adults is becoming more and more recognize a great learning and teaching tool. I am also interested on using games for computer cognitive rehabilitation exercixes.

A very thorough paper especially useful for its careful analysis of the "flip side" of open government data. It presents the main objections raised against the OGD "paradise" and also analyses ways in which media pedagogy can alleviate these problems. It culminates in a very important question: » An educational conception towards 'governing students not to be governed (that much)' within formal, obligatory education can too easily act out what it pretends to counteract. Informal settings, however, run the risk of fortifying social injustice and privilege - if largely used by well-educated citizens and semi-experts, as assumed. «

The Global Digital Citizenship Foundation provides dynamic professional learning and Digital Citizenship resources for educators worldwide and creates crowd funding opportunities for student-driven passion projects.

Digital technologies and online learning environments permitting harvesting, analysis and use of student data is nothing new in higher education. They open up a number of opportunities and equally a number of perils - creating the need for higher education institutions to find ways to protect the harvested data.

Learning and teaching will be severely damaged, many publishing companies will close and thousands of jobs will be lost if the government implements its proposal to remove any choice in which textbooks schools use. Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga published the policy proposal in the September 4 Government Gazette and invited public comment on it.

There is nothing much rewarding for students than to see their accomplished work being published and celebrated with others. This is very much motivating and is a strong impetus for them to achieve more and work harder.

Looks like a useful compilation of tools. have to check if all of them are still available. as it is from 2012 and things are cganging rapidely online

I like idea to involve undergrastuden to be experience inall publishing process

The structure of MOOCs is continually evolving. Presently the major trend is the transferal of knowledge from the Western English speaking world, but this is changing. Collaboration and other countries' participation in creating this form of education are developing. I believe this is essential for specific regional needs to be satisfied and understood. It is technology and open education collaborating for the benefit of all, not only those with Western privileges. It's not education for education's sake, but brings in a more entrepreneurial approach - not only in Africa where one initiative has started. This article clearly illustrates these new developments in the MOOC arena, providing examples of projects underway and future plans for MOOC 2.0.

Es interesante notar que la propuesta educativa del MOOC sigue transformándose y expandiéndose. También me resulta desafiante que el terreno de aplicación del MOOC 2.0 sea el Asia (naturalmente, por la proporción de jóvenes) y no México. Esta es una interesante área de oportunidad.

I think MOOC will be much more effective as tool for learning exchanges between countries, especially developing stakeholder, rather than replacing high education.

In the classroom, the MOOC material became a new form of textbook. The students found the video lectures easy to follow. They could watch each bite-sized two- to seven-minute video in its entirety and retain the information. The finger exercises following the video further reinforced their learning.
