MIT Just Released an Online Learning Report Worth Reading - WILLIAM FENTON, PC Magazine

While I will focus my attention on the report's four main recommendations, I recommend the background section to those interested in educational theory and the state of online education. The authors provide some of the sharpest synopses I have encountered, anchoring buzzwords such as "flipped classrooms," "active learning," and "student-centric education" to educational history and theory. Those interested in that research would do well to peruse the notes, which includes direct links to scholarship. http://www.pcmag.com/commentary/343501/mit-just-released-an-online-learning-report-worth-reading
