GaucheBy Cathie Gandel. From full master's degrees to professional certificates, online classes offer a wide variety of styles and subjects. While distance learning is hardly new, technology has now made it possible – and attractive – for hundreds of highly regarded U.S. institutions to offer their postgraduate degrees to students around the world.

Encouraging Forum Participation in Online Courses with Collectivist, Individualist and Neutral Motivational Framings
By René F. Kizilcec, Daniel McFarland. Online discussion forums have been shown to contribute to the trust and cohesion of groups, and their use has been associated with greater overall engagement in online courses.
We devised two experimental interventions to encourage learners to participate in forums. A collectivist (“your participation benefits everyone”), individualist (“you benefit from participating”), or neutral (“there is a forum”) framing was employed to tailor encouragements for forum participation. An email encouragement was sent out to all enrolled users at the start of the course (study 1: general encouragement), and later in the course, to just those who had not participated in the forum (study 2: targeted encouragement).

The development of technology considerably changes major characteristics and even the philosophy of education. Distance learning and e-learning have become a part of daily life and penetrate into conventional educational establishments.

By . New method called ‘Connected Learning’ aims to make courses more engaging for youth.
Mobile technology and its use in the classroom is booming across the country; but outside of the ‘cool tech’ aspect, many educators struggle to understand why students find tech-connected classrooms more engaging. A new method of teaching and learning explains that it’s not about the technology–it’s about the four principles behind it. Connected Learning, an educational approach designed by the Alliance for Excellent Education (AEE), says it harnesses the information age to make learning more powerful. More...
By Rhea Kelly. Harvard Business School is ready to dive into the waters of online learning. The institution will soon begin enrollment in the first set of courses to be offered on HBX, a new e-learning platform the school has been quietly developing over the past year and a half.
First reported by Bloomberg last October, HBX is a "digital learning initiative aimed at broadening the reach and deepening the impact of HBS's research and teaching," said Dean Nitin Nohria in a recent e-mail sent to members of the HBS community.
