    A consortium of US universities got together last month and analysed Moodle 2.0.1 and, based on a number of factors, decided it was not yet ready for them. The major show-stoppers for them included: ● Grade data is purged when a student is removed from the course ● Moodle 2.0 upgrades from 1.9 often fail or require manual intervention ● Moodle 1.9 backups can not be restored to Moodle 2.0 installations. ● Administrators can no longer perform mass uploads of files to courses.

  • The advent of massively open online classes (MOOCs) is the single most important technological development of the millennium so far. I say this for two main reasons. First, for the enormously transformative impact MOOCs can have on literally billions of people in the world. Second, for the equally disruptive effect MOOCs will inevitably have on the global education industry.
  • In the United States, students don't get their money's worth
  • You have to ask yourself, 'What is the nature of education as a good?' Ideally you want it to be learning. But it also functions as insurance.

  • Things take longer to happen than you think they will and then they happen faster than you think they could.
  • ver the next few years the quality will improve.
  • A teacher in the future will become more like a mentor. The model of on campus education will be more about mentorship and guidance with research as an important factor."
  • "It's important to remember that we're not so good at understanding the subtleties of environments that make them attractive to people.
  • The working out of this will depend a lot on formulas for making it attractive and collaborative.
  • The technology gives us tremendous power to solve this stark problem all around us. We need to design these so no child is left out of this. What need to ask, what is education after all? We need to resolve that. What are we getting our young people ready for? It's for the purpose of our life.

    Just over two years ago a group of teachers decided there Science Lab needed a signature piece to promote an interest in scientific inquiry. Inspired by a display at Questacon they embarked on a project to create a display to showcase the Periodic Table. After a three month journey into cabinetry and problem solving it is ready and this is the story of how it was made and why.
