Me gustaría resaltar:

“We are taking what we are learning and the technologies we are developing in the large and applying them in the small to create a blended model of education to really reinvent and reimagine what we do in the classroom”

“What are some key ideas that makes all of this work?”
“One idea is active learning”
“The second idea is self-pacing”
“The third idea that we have is instant feedback”
“The next big idea is gamification”
“Fifth is peer learning”

“It can also solve a practical problem of MOOCs, the business aspect. We can also license these MOOC courses to other universities, and therein lies a revenue model for MOOCs, where the university that licenses it with the professor can use these online courses like the next-generation textbook. They can use as much or as little as they like, and it become a tool in the teacher’s arsenal”
