See on Scoop.itM-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

TED Talks Daphne Koller is enticing top universities to put their most intriguing courses online for free — not just as a service, but as a way to research how people learn.

 

This TED talk does a good job of explaining some of the latest trends and innovations in education, specially around the big name universities offering free online courses. I like the way she tackles the issues with marking humanities in a scalable manner … note that the beginning is a little slow, after about 5 minutes you can see where her passions are.
