Yes, I do truly love my Prius, but here I am discussing another kind of hybrid: a course that involves both online and classroom learning. An Inside Higher Ed report of new research from South Texas College indicates that 82 percent of students in hybrid courses were successful (that is, that got an A, B, [...]]]></description>

Inside Higher Ed ran an interview with Curtis J. Bonk, a professor of instructional systems technology at Indiana University, and author of the book The World Is Open: How Web Technology is Revolutionizing Education.

Over at EandPPub.com, they are asking a question of the day and I Tweeted the link because I found both the question and the comments very interesting.

Thomas Friedman has been sounding the alarm about US education for a while, and he notes in his April 21 NY Times article:
&#8230;the 2006 Program for International Student Assessment that measured the applied learning and problem-solving skills of 15-year-olds in 30 industrialized countries, the U.S. ranked 25th out of the 30 in math and 24th [...]]]></description>

I joined the Connectivism and Connective Knowledge course, described as a &#8220;rather large open online course&#8221; with hundreds of participants worldwide.  I had the intention of actively participating, but soon became overwhelmed, downgrading myself to lurking and snatching a few tidbits from their daily newsletter.
