This one is more of an informational item, as there is already a lot of commentary out there already on this issue. It came through my Facebook with this item in my news feed:
Which links to a news item from Inside Higher Education. It has also generated some discussion in the blogsphere, for example:
- Coming Dangerously Close from iterating toward openness
- U.S. push for free online courses from Virtual School News
- U.S. Push for Free Online Learning Courses – Inside Higher Ed from Online Learning Update
- you know as I have been saying entries over the past few days, I could have sworn I had more in my Bloglines than just these three…
Anyway, some things to consider – even in the K-12 realm, as I’ve often wondered do we realy need all of those different versions of Alegebra I and Alegebra II out there? Couldn’t we just take the best from all of them and create one exceptionally well-designed course?
