Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve by now heard of Sal Khan and his growing collection of YouTube video lessons covering a dizzying array of subjects. Khan’s popularity has sparked a debate among educators about the effectiveness of his methods and the role of online video lessons in education. As educators debate, students appear to be voting with their eyeballs, as traffic to Khan Academy is exploding. Are tomorrow’s students destined to learn all their math lessons from the prolific Mr. Khan? Not so fast, according to the founders of Educreations .
The startup wants to give students lots of choices of online teachers – including the teachers they see every day at school. “Khan has provided a powerful example of what’s possible,” says Educreations CEO Wade Roberts.

The Web version of this article differs somewhat from the print edition, reflecting recent and fast developments in the Web 2.0 world. Nothing has been cut from the earlier, print version; instead, some content has been added as new projects emerged. © 2006 Bryan Alexander EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 41, no. 2 (March/April 2006): 32–44.
Bryan Alexander Bryan Alexander is Director for Research at the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE). The term is audacious: Web 2.0. Many people—including, or perhaps especially, supporters—critique the “Web 2.0” moniker for definitional reasons. Concepts Social software has emerged as a major component of the Web 2.0 movement. These sections of the Web break away from the page metaphor. Like social software, microcontent has been around for a while. This openness is crucial to current Web 2.0 discussions. Why does this matter, and why do such projects not degenerate into multisubjective chaos? Projects and Practices. Online Tools: Improve Your Productivity. Sharebar There are so many online services, platforms, applications and tools, it can be difficult to wade through it all. So I’ve updated an older list of productivity tools for the coming year.
These are some of the best tools I use or found through research and recommendations. Tools that help us become more efficient, organized and productive are important. That way we can accomplish more and stop work at noon every day, right? Why Online? When all of your important stuff is available online, you can access it from anywhere. With most of these tools you don’t have to download or install anything. Backing up your work online keeps you productive because they say to save everything in three places. Mozy is often recommended as the backup tool of choice. Dropbox has an understated and simply intuitive interface. Bookmarking and clipping the web keep you productive because you don’t have to do a deep search all around the web for that article you saw two months ago. eLearning Authoring Tools (please add a tool!) Open University learning is a joy | Jules Horne. He was a flying goth with rocker looks.
I was a new Open University tutor researching a play. I ventured into the OU room in Second Life, and after a few introductions (He: F04 R08. AL? Me: Yep.
