p2pu | Learning for everyone, by everyone, about almost anything - 0 views

  •  
    "The Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU) is an online community of open study groups for short university-level courses. Think of it as online book clubs for open educational resources. The P2PU helps you navigate the wealth of open education materials that are out there, creates small groups of motivated learners, and supports the design and facilitation of courses. Students and tutors get recognition for their work, and we are building pathways to formal credit as well. Sign-up for the next round of courses is tentatively scheduled to open in September 2010. However, you can still access all the course materials and even follow the discussions. And our pilot phase courses are in the http://archive.p2pu.org."

Online learning begins to explode into the mainstream in blended schools - Michael Horn... - 0 views

  • Over 4 million K-12 students took at least one online course in 2010, according to Ambient Insight, and this space is growing now by a five-year compound annual growth rate of 43 percent—much faster than the growth of charter schooling or other K-12 education reforms, for example. And the majority of this growth is occurring in different types of “blended learning.”

Free and Open Source Software and Courseware - A User Guide - 0 views

  • Before I was aware of the free and open source software alternatives, I would have probably accepted this request as fair enough. But when I learned how good Open Office was for example, and saw what OpenOffice.org had to say on their website, "You can install this software on every computer in the school and on every pupil's and every teacher's computer at home without paying any license fees. Please encourage others to do so..." I had to ask these questions: Why are public education departments buying software at such an expense, and insisting that their staff and students use the same, when the equivalent alternatives in software are not only free, open and more flexible, but are more equitable, accessible, usable and reliable for the students and teachers? And while we are considering that question I'd like to put forward another: Why are those same public departments investing so much in a culture and practice of copyright, intellectual property and user pays business models when technology such as the Internet, free and open source software, and concepts like open courseware make it economically viable to at last offer a free and open education equally to all?

      The above excerpt from the article I found at flexiblelearning.net stuck out to me because until I started reading The World is Open, I was not aware that there were free alternatives to such expensive software such as the Microsoft Office Suite that our district pays tens of thousands of dollars for each year to maintain the licenses. When I started using google docs, I was amazed at the sharing abilities and the many other capabilities that exist with such Open Source resources. At this point I have not actualy created documents in google docs but look forward to doing so.

Blended Learning: Combining Face-to-Face and Online Education | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    There's this myth in the brick and mortar schools that somehow the onset of online K-12 learning will be the death of face-to-face (F2F) interaction. However this isn't so -- or at least in the interest of the future of rigor in education, it shouldn't be.
