Could someone provide us with the results of any survey on what students/people think of: - online (and/or Distance) education - Its advantages &amp; disadvantages And also: - The challenges of going "open" Or anything that can help about the things a teaching institution has to consider before launching online learning programs Thank you in advance for support Regards. </pre> Boris N'DONG NGUEMA 2013-05-17T16:26:22 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.education.wikieducator.general/8563 <pre>Always good to hear from you Ed.

I agree that HTML5 is helping a lot. The new Mozilla smartphone, of which I've so far seen only one, is based on it. JavaScript has to pick up a lot of the slack, as the HTML controller, versus ActionScript inside of Flash. I work in eLearning as an instructor. Sometimes our students use a remote desktop client and we do everything on the server, bypassing the client-side browser. Other times we're in-browser. I also hold out hope for the dedicated eLearning appliance one might call it. Think of video arcades with custom peripherals or booth-like environments. At the higher end, think of flight simulators. I can well imagine a large room full of "learning machines" (like a gym) where each is a custom experience.

The course focuses on articles about open educational resources (OER) and related topics, and students improve these articles as part of their course work. A great opportunity to learn about Wikipedia, and improve access to information about OER.

The executive committee have the pleasure in inviting all of you to join this meet to make it a grand success. We do not have the current contact address of all our alumni.

Any help would be deeply appreciated. Ramesh Sharma ## This online survey is being conducted to sample some current insights, attitudes, and concerns about massive open online courses (MOOCs) to get a sense of the feasibility and near-term adoption of the offering of MOOCs by various universities and colleges. This will be conducted as a one-time modified electronic Delphi study to capture the insights of practicing faculty and administrators in higher education, particularly those who have been involved with online learning. The responses may be used in a forthcoming academic publication that is double-blind peer-reviewed if the work passes muster with the editors. Survey results will be maintained for three years after the end of the survey.
