People are correct when they say online education will take things out the classroom. But they are wrong, I think, when they assume it will make learning an independent, personal activity. Learning has to occur in a community.”

Pjhiggins on 2009-08-21This is a key point in making those who feel that there are huge flaws in online learning. While there is definite potential for the "correspondence course" model they mention above to still be present, there are myriad ways in which online learning can be extremely communal. What I love about it is that it automatically eliminates pacing concerns in that students can move through material at a rate that is more to their style.

Yukon syla new study of studies by SRI International that looked at " the comparative research on online versus traditional classroom teaching from 1996 to 2008".and found that most students performed better from online instruction - caveat: they didn't just put materials online, they used web videos, etc.
Need to review the actual study as it seems difficult to believe you could find well-designed studies to compare effectively -

Sheryl A. McCoythough I'm personally wanting to believe this meta-analysis, I would like to see references to the studies that were cited. SRI is a great group, yet they are owned by a larger corporation, Pearson, that has all kinds of relationships and online classes for universtities.
I would like to see references and sources of data that have NO connection to SRI or Pearson, to get an unbiased look at the research. -

many K-12 schools — now widely use online learning management systems, like Blackboard or the open-source Moodle. But that is mostly for posting assignments, reading lists, and class schedules and hosting some Web discussion boards.

This needs to be read by any school system preparing to adopt a big-box content management system in their "upgrade to tech integration." This guy is spot-on in realizing that though a CMS can "make information digital," they currently do little more than create an online class bulletin board. How about, "the new way to turn in homework?"
Social tools are the only things I have seen with the potential to add real value to the learning process by way of technology. -

Our board in Toronto is also pushing towards a big box, catch all system but as they've been building this system (already on 3.0) some of us have used existing tools to create systems that best suit our needs. Sometimes the rush to be all things to everyone slows down the natural needs based development process. Educational tools need to be lithe and ever-evolving, not monolithic and standardized.

Ms. RowleyInteresting study finds that students who took online course performed on standards assessments better than those that attended traditional classroom course (59 vs. 50)

Until fairly recently, online education
amounted to little more than electronic versions of the old-line correspondence
courses. That has really changed with arrival of Web-based video, instant
messaging and collaboration tools.
The real promise of online education, experts
say, is providing learning experiences that are more tailored to individual
students than is possible in classrooms. That enables more “learning by doing,”
which many students find more engaging and useful.

Ms. Rowley on 2009-08-24
A blended, multisensory approach has always been more helpful. Being able to move at your own pace and if necessary reread or go back is best.

The googleverse has allowed us to search and find content that speaks to our personal styles of learning, which leads me to question again the validity of standardized testing.

For example, it will be assumed that college students know the basics of calculus, and the classroom time will focus on applying the math to real-world problems — perhaps in exploring the physics of climate change or modeling trends in stock prices, he said.

This is an important point to relay to policy makers and those that support tougher standards, accountability and more testing.

Brian C. Smith on 2009-08-21
Oh, and I almost forgot... this shouldn't be just a the college level... the real world application needs to happen earlier, in elementary, middle and high school curriculums.

I actually believe we will be better off without the correspondence model, at least at the elementary level. I love the idea of taking my class out into the world via our internet connection and fostering a larger community of learners and faciliators.

For K-12, online classes may translate to more face-to-face instruction. We pulled our son out of a useless junior high, let him play guitar and video games at home all day, and used an online charter school to teach him ourselves at night. The online curriuculum was definitely superior to what the local school offered, and the 1:1 instruction was very efficient. After one semester, he’s ahead of all his old classmates, rather than failing, and he’s enjoying life. Most people probably can’t arrange their lives to do this, but it sure can work when it works.
