This is worth thinking about. What if we had an app where students could record their learning 'workouts' and it was social? Imagine a Brainbit similar to the Fitbit that reminded students to study for 15 minutes every hour or they could set their own goals and reply yes/no if they met the goal. They could then choose to share on FB or twitter, etc. Maybe there's a way to start thinking about the D2L Awards and the Mozilla backpack and start modeling something like this?

Sharing/using other instructor's materials like videos in support of active learning .... I like this para especially: "The impact is especially great for women and others under-represented in STEM fields. Studies show that the achievement gap in STEM classes can be reduced or even annihilated for women, first-generation college students and underrepresented minority students if active learning strategies are employed. In order to make this happen in the classroom, it is effective to place some amount of foundational learning outside of class time."

"The study, "A Study of Four New Models and Their Implications for Bending the Higher Education Cost Curve," prepared by, rpkGROUP, a consulting firm, and funded by the Lumina Foundation, studied CBE programs at four institutions: the University of Wisconsin-Extension and Kentucky Community and Technical System (both public universities), Brandman University (a private nonprofit university) and Walden University (a private for-profit college). It suggests colleges and universities could cut the cost of producing some of their degrees by as much as 50 percent with competency-based education (CBE)."

enhance lecture learning in traditional classroom settings and in online education. This article provides a conceptual framework for thinking about attention and memory during video-recorded lectures, particularly as related to online learning, that builds on 3 key claims: (a) online learning can be conceived as a type of self-regulated learning, (b) mind wandering reflects a failure of executive control that can impair learning from lectures, and (c) providing intermittent tests or quizzes can benefit attention and learning. We then summarize recent studies based on this framework that examine the effects of interpolating brief quizzes in a video-recorded lecture. These studies reveal that interpolated quizzing during a video-recorded lecture reduces mind wandering, increases taskrelevant behaviors such as note taking, boosts learning, and also improves calibration between predicted and actual performance.
