Knowledge, Learning, Community
Rory McGreal sends along the link to this presentation on learner demographics and the rise of online learning. The talk is focused on the United States but points to some resources worldwide. What I like is the author's line of argumentation, showing as she does that open education, such as the OpenCourseware initiatives, is the best way to approach e-learning in the future. What I don't like is the use of Flash to mount a set of slides - you may eventually find the controls in the upper right corner, which helps, but it is an awkward, cumbersome and needless use of a user-hostile interface.
