It’s midnight before your final exam and you need help. Do you know where your tutor is? InstaEDU, says a $1.1 million seed round from former Facebooker Chamath Palihapitiya’s fund The Social+Capital Partnership and several angels. Stumped high school and college students pay InstaEDU by the minute to video chat with tutors from top universities at any hour of the day. InstaEDU will use the seed to grow its team and build critical features like advanced scheduling.
How can E-Learning and Distance Education help move students through Developmental Education courses and onto success? Research shows that, well, very little is known in this area. Researchers have however identified emerging evidence for the following interventions:
1. Interventions aimed at helping students avoid developmental education by shoring up their skills before they enroll in college 2. Interventions designed to accelerate students’ progress through developmental education by shortening the timing or content of their developmental education courses 3. Programs that provide contextualized basic skills together with occupational or college-content coursework 4. Programs that enhance the supports for developmental-level learners, such as advising or tutoring There are some really amazing ways that E-Learning and Distance Education can be incorporated into all of the above interventions. I’m on a mission to find the educators and researchers who are working on this, or lead the charge of those who are interested.

3. Provide behind-the-scenes support via email
Go way beyond Internet safety. Turn students into great digital citizens.
Every day, your students are tested with each post, search, chat, text message, file download, and profile update. Will they connect with like minds or spill TMI to the wrong people?
Will they behave creatively or borrow ideas recklessly? Will they do the right thing or take shortcuts?

I tend to see templates less as rules for course structure and more as guiding principles. When you first start building courses they help with developing a consistent design and course structure. A good template can fill in the gaps for the novice elearning developer.

Here are ten great tips for producing elaborate documents using Microsoft Word. High-end desktop publishing programs, such as Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress, feature lots of tools to help designers produce stunning pages. But these programs are expensive, and novices require training to use them, factors that render their acquisition difficult to justify for most small businesses.
Many a university president has felt a frisson on reading the news that various consortia are intent on forging an online teaching presence that will reach out in what might seem to some like a quasi-imperial way (not just MIT and Stanford but also Embanet/Compass, 2tor, Coursera and the Minerva Project). No one I know thinks that these online consortia will have immediate effects in the manner of the raft of books that are direct descendants from the dot.com days, with all their corporate techno-hype (see the recent piece by Hiltzik on this agenda). But no one I know thinks that things will just stay the same either.

Los departamentos de formación de las empresas ¿están al tanto de esté fenómeno? ¿le están sacando provecho a algo tan significativo?

Since Moodle 2.0 we have switched to time-based releases rather than feature-based releases, as part of our new development process. Because of this, the details below are an indication of current priorities only, and are subject to change according to how long things take to develop. If something can not be finished for a release then it will generally just be pushed to the next major release.
The items in the roadmap are part of a long-term development vision for Moodle, which is heavily influenced by requests from our user community.
MIAMI — More high school students are enrolling in math and science classes and seeking online learning opportunities. Fewer want or are able to find jobs while in school.
Mobile learning is in the air, almost everyone realizes the potential, and some companies are now taking tentative first steps.
