Stanford Tackles Challenges of Digital Learning - R. F. MacKay, Stanford News Service

Amid all the hyperbolic proclamations that massive open online courses, or MOOCs, are poised to take over the educational universe, dispassionate and well-trained minds are needed to assess just exactly what is going on with digital and online learning and what we can reasonably expect. Funny how the Stanford School of Education reached that same conclusion. Throughout this academic year, a 1-unit course called Education's Digital Future (EDF) is bringing together students, faculty and professionals from Stanford and its community to study how digital education works and which models work better. http://menlopark-atherton.patch.com/articles/stanford-tackles-challenges-of-digital-learning-6ed5559a
