The Best Way to Learn in an Online Course
"A well-designed online course will guide you through the course content, and will also guide you in the best way to learn the material and to achieve desired learning outcomes. The course will bring together cognitive and behavioral approaches. In addition, self-regulation (motivation, goal-setting, etc) will be incorporated in a seamless way so that you're learning how to manage time, how to practice for exams, and how to plan for achieving outcomes."

Educational Policy and the Extended Mind
"I am suggesting that ‘innate’ intelligence no longer makes a whole lot of sense—although it still makes some sense, just like running—once we accept an externalist, “extended” theory of mind." (The Ends of Thought)

Watching Charlotte climb: little steps toward Big Questions
"There are, in short, many productive ways to respond to students' concerns about Big Questions. The one thing that is not productive is to turn one's back and pretend that these questions are insignificant or unworthy of serious academic attention. That is, of course, itself an answer of sorts, albeit a contemptuous one. It sends a strong, implicit message that leading an examined life doesn't really matter. That's not good enough for a liberal education. Charlotte deserves better." (Liberal Education)

More than 100 Free Places to Learn Online - and Counting
"I’ve been a fan of open education for some time and recently have been intrigued by the revival of the “free” business model debate by Chris Anderson and Kevin Kelly, among others. So, conflating the two, I decided to undertake what turned into a “pulling a thread on a sweater” exercise and see how much free online learning I could find on the Web relatively quickly. Free online courses, free education sites, free CE, free CME - basically anything free and educational that I could find. I’ve included some notes and observations on this exercise below," (Mission to Learn)

Edupunk
"...it captures the cultural revulsion many of us feel with the appropriation of the Learning 2.0 movement by corporations such as Blackboard. Learning 2.0, like punk, is a DIY movement. Like punk it favors technical accessibility over grand design." (Mike Caulfield)

The Glass Bees at bavatuesdays
"I don’t believe in technology, I believe in people. And that’s why I don’t think our struggle is over the future of technology, it is over the struggle for the future of our culture that is assailed from all corners by the vultures of capital. Corporations are selling us back our ideas, innovations, and visions for an exorbitant price. I want them all back, and I want them now!" (Jim Groom)

Frustrated With Corporate Course-Management Systems, Some Professors Go 'Edupunk'
"Punk rock was a rebellion against the clean, predictable sound of popular music and it also encouraged a do-it-yourself attitude. Edupunk seems to be a reaction against the rise of course-managements systems, which offer cookie-cutter tools that can make every course Web site look the same." (Wired Campus)
