Carliner, Saul – Performance Improvement, 2013

Since MIT and Harvard started edX, their joint experiment with free online courses, the venture has attracted enormous attention for opening the ivory tower to the world.

Chubb, John – Policy Innovators in Education Network, 2012
The long awaited and hotly debated "disruption" of public education may finally have begun.

Brooks, Charmaine; Gibson, Susan – Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2012
While professional development (PD) has always been central to the teaching profession, increasingly traditional models of PD are out of step with contemporary ways of learning.

This paper presents a patterns-based model of the evolution of learning and competence-building technologies, grounded in examples of current practice. The model imagines five simple stages in how institutions use "expeditionary change" to innovate more nimbly. It builds upon three assertions. First, the pervasiveness of web-based…
