"In fall 2013, one in every eight students enrolled at colleges and universities in the U.S. studied exclusively online. One in every four students took at least one online course. Those and other findings, released this week in a three-part analysis by the WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies (WCET), suggest distance education is more pervasive in higher education than previously imagined, and may help debunk some of the common myths surrounding the medium."

Valid arguments exist for students to control data about themselves, and similarly plausible arguments suggest that the institution can claim ownership. This article explores both perspectives. To avoid win-lose solutions, institutions acting as "information fiduciaries" can reap the benefits of analyzing student data while respecting student rights. Via Peter Mellow

Analysis from MIT about the features of online videos used in MOOCs that online learners prefer. Interesting analysis for MOOCs but these features could be applied to videos used in any implementation of blended learning.
Also shows that the slick, production theatre videos with a highly professional look may not be the ones that students prefer to watch.

Much like over-the-counter medicines, student data should carry easy-to-understand labeling and guidance to help people use it properly.
Student data systems can help educators differentiate and personalize instruction, use formative assessments effectively and optimize districtwide tech initiatives. In short, they can revolutionize education.
Yet student data is only as effective as an educator’s ability to interpret it. Most data reports fall short because they are counterintuitive or difficult to understand. Via Kim Flintoff

"Assessment is an important part of any course. We want to make sure that our methods are working and learners are learning things (correctly!).
One of the things that I love about the blended and flipped classroom movements is the focus on assessment through projects, discussion, and other non-test means.
