The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. (Shaw, 1983)

fluency in multiple media, valuing each for the types of communication, activities, experiences, and expressions it empowers

learning based on collectively seeking, sieving, and synthesizing experiences

active learning based on experience (real and simulated) that includes frequent opportunities for reflection

expression through non-linear, associational webs of representations rather than linear "stories"

co-design of learning experiences personalized to individual needs and preferences (Dede 2006)

What makes a good hybrid instructor? (iNacol Standards)


China: 1.3 billion people 20 million 18 year olds 2.5 million college slots With online learning: increase educational opportunities to 100

million new students India:

Universal Access for K-12 Education in 10 years Need 200,000 more schools Shortage of good teachers “Leverage teachers using technology to bring to scale” Educomp Program digitizing learning resources (online content) in

K-12 education View as export opportunity

Turkey: 10 million students in K-12 taking online courses Middle East

Start from scratch and rebuild K-12 Education systems(iNacol 2008)

• Internet access– China: 4 million Internet connections in 1999– China: 137 million Internet connections in 2006

• WiMax: 50 km radius of high-speed, wireless, broadband Internet (100 Mbs), mid-to-end 2009

• 3G/4G Wireless: 2010(Patrick 2008)


Spending on K-12 education Average: $9,969/per pupil in 2007-08 (more than

any country in the world, except Switzerland) International Rankings in Science and Math (PISA

2006):Science: US ranked #25 out of 30 countriesMath: US ranked #21 out of 30 countries

U.S. Math curriculum: full 2 grade levels behind international counterparts by 8th grade

The K-12 online learning market is growing rapidly at 30% annually

In 2007, estimated 1,000,000 enrollments in K-12 online learning in the U.S.

In K-12: 30 states with statewide virtual schools; 44 states with

significant policies/programs (Watson, Keeping Pace, 2008)

More than 50% of all school districts across the United States offer online and distance learning (Americas Digital Schools Report)

18 states with 100,000+ students enrolled in full-time virtual school programs (Center for Education Reform)

(Patrick 2008)


“Combining face-to-face with fully online components optimizes both environments in ways impossible in other formats” -Educause Research Bulletin, 2004Digital content, curriculum, LMS, online

assessments, data system, AI, simulationsShift in instructional model and training

Struggling student, low-engagement, (More direct student support needed)

Self-direction, high engagement, (Less direct student support needed)


(Patrick 2008)

• Blended learning should be approached as not only a temporal construct, but rather as a fundamental redesign of the instructional model with the following characteristics:• -A shift from lecture- to student-centered instruction

where students become interactive learners (this shift should apply to entire course, including face-to-face sessions);

• -Increases in interaction between student-instructor, student-student, student-content, and student-outside resources; and

• -Integrated formative and summative assessment mechanisms for student and instructor.” - Educause, Blended Learning (2004)
