Online Education Beats the Classroom - NYTimes.com
a 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.

Is Happiness Contagious? - Freakonomics Blog - NYTimes.com
-
There are (at least) three reasons why happiness is correlated within social networks.

-
People’s happiness depends on the happiness of others with whom they are connected. This provides further justification for seeing happiness, like health, as a collective phenomenon
