Hi all, I just saw that one of Stanford's online courses for the next term is called "Designing A New Learning Environment" ( http://venture-lab.org/education). The description sounds quite interesting so I'll probably enroll in it. (Though given my past experiences with online courses I'll probably drop out of it within a few weeks;-):
"What constitutes learning in the 21st century? Should education be based on delivering contents and getting students to memorize facts? Should reading, watching, and taking exams be part of all learning? Should there be more interactive, collaborative, and constructive learning activities integrating mobile and social networking tools of today? Should new training and learning activities be more fun and game-like? In this course, we discuss and answer these questions."
