Free eLearning solutions at the Learning Exchange platform @eLearningGuild

By Inge Ignatia de Waard. The eLearning Guild has launched an interesting content creating and sharing program, called the Learning Exchange. The idea is simple: let your members share their expertise (fits any expert learning format). The nice thing is that we all get to know each other better, and it provides us a stage to share eLearning content that we make anyway. There have been similar platforms, but they sometimes faded over time. With the eLearning Guild having so many members, eLearning experts, I feel that this initiative might just work pure on the basis of its rich community. And it is more practical then for instance the Educause discussions, as it is about providing training, getting tips and solutions for real life eLearning challenges. The platform also provides a discussion area, called NOW@ as well. Read more...

The Next Assault On The Ivory Tower: Unbundling The College Degree

By Ryan Craig. In 2003, the iTunes Store unbundled the CD. Suddenly, consumers could purchase only the songs they wanted rather than the bundle designated by the artist and label. Sales of digital singles soared but overall revenue fell 50% in a decade.It is with good reason that cable companies fiercely oppose a la carte pricing. Estimates suggest that they could lose up to half of their current revenue with such a model. Live streaming options from HBO and Netflix, are already beginning to chip away at the cable bundle.

Why global education is more than a “race”

By SI News. In our globalized, hyper-connected world, it can seem like everything is a competition. Finishing a project first, getting the scoop on breaking news, responding immediately to a text message – everything is about getting there before anyone else.
In many places, this competitive mindset extends to the world of education, where standardized testing and the battle for limited spots in elite universities has turned learning into a zero-sum race. More...
