The Next Generation Of Online Learning
from the is-it-going-to-take-off? dept
The NY Times magazine put out an article this past weekend concerning distance learning. It's main focus was on the new Global Education Network which appears to be the most far-reaching experiment in distance learning. However, it brings up a lot of issues about what this means for education in the future. The article is long, but very interesting, as it really gets into what the folks behind GEN were thinking in creating it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
