Virtual Schools Equal Live Classroom Methods
|
|
Online learning and state-led virtual schools can be
as effective as live classroom teaching methods, according
to a study conducted by the University of Florida that is
being funded by AT&T to the tune of $600,000.
The
study focuses on when and how online instruction works most
effectively. According to preliminary results, teachers are
finding innovative ways to engage students online, and
virtual schools are demonstrating that they can be at least
as effective as traditional, face-to-face instruction
The researchers’ e-learning tool kit includes a new
Website that serves as a national clearinghouse for all
teachers and schools involved in Internet-based education.
Virtual schools afford researchers access to saved online
data that can be used to compare the effectiveness of a
variety of approaches to education, enrollment and student
achievement.

Online Tutoring Grows by Leaps and Bounds
|
|
According to an industry report, more than 100,000
students in more than 50 North American colleges and
universities have gained direct access to peers, paid tutors
and professors. The AskOnline Website provides a structured,
flexible environment to connect qualified tutors with
students via chat, whiteboard, videoconferencing, audio
conferencing, discussion boards and private messaging.
According to the report, the AskOnline student count
increased by 675 percent in 2006, more than nine times the
enrollment increase in online college/university courses.
Online tutoring gives students access to more tutoring
hours, time to frame questions and absorb answers, and the
option to capture key points for reference in searchable
transcripts. This type of online tutoring differs from a
learning management system in that it's structured around
people and their learning needs, not around specific course
sections. Tutors often work across multiple courses,
sections and grade levels.
Berkeley College, the
University of Memphis, the University of New Hampshire and
the University of Tampa are among the institutions that use
AskOnline.

Wal- Mart to Sell Broadband Access
|
|
Hughes Network Systems of Germantown, Md., soon will
sell its HughesNet satellite broadband Internet access
service at 2,800 Wal-Mart department stores across the
country.
With HughesNet, consumers in any region in
the continental U.S. need only a view of the southern sky to
have access to high-speed Internet.
The
Hughes-Wal-Mart relationship will bring this access to many
locations, including most of rural America, where
terrestrial broadband services, such as cable and DSL, are
often unavailable.
Wal-Mart will be offering
HughesNet service plans with download speeds of up to 1.5
Mbps and pricing starting as low as $59.99. Every Wal-Mart
customer who purchases the HughesNet service will receive an
“ExpressPay” card for $100 to buy anything at Wal-Mart from
groceries, toys, or automotive services, at the customer’s
discretion.
With more than 350,000 subscribers, the
HughesNet service is the leading, two-way broadband
satellite Internet service in the United States.
