When Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced their intention last month to provide free, online education, the world listened.
The unveiling of edX, the universities’ joint open-source platform for web-based learning, garnered buzz around the globe. The next question was obvious. What will edX — and the future of online higher ed — actually look like? On Thursday, Anant Agarwal, edX’s first president, offered some early answers at Harvard’s second annual IT Summit. Agarwal’s keynote address at the daylong conference, which also included a discussion of the University’s strategic information technology plan by the CIO Council and 30 afternoon panels and presentations, introduced an ambitious project that will require just as much effort and innovation from Harvard’s IT professionals as it will from traditional educators. Anne Margulies, Harvard’s chief information officer, kicked off the summit at Sanders Theatre. “Immediate feedback is huge,” he said.

As Graham (2006) explains, there is now an emphasis on introducing a “human” dimension to technologies, like virtual communities, portable digital devices, instant messaging, and blogging.
Eveleth and Baker-Eveleth (2003) present a compelling framework and design for the inclusion of an online component inside a traditional face-to-face classroom. In the course described within this manuscript, students developed a set of core competencies which were designed to give them a strategic workforce advantage over individuals who had not had similar exposure.

Google announced an online summer camp on Monday, a collaboration with Make magazine that matches teens with maker-movement celebrities through the Google+ social network.
Using the company’s Hangouts video group chat tool, kids age 13 through 18 can watch makers create projects online, many of which are composed of stuff lying around the house (think Mentos and erupting Coke bottles). The “camp” lasts for six weeks, on Monday through Thursday mornings, with most Hangouts run by teenage camp counselors when the celebrities aren’t guest-starring. It’s one in another series of moves by Google to bolster Google+, its heavily pitched yet questionably populated social network. Lobbying big brands like Make can give prospective newcomers to Google+ an actual reason to go to the site. There’s potential to reach a large, lucrative market by targeting teens: To “attend” the camp, the kids must have a Google+ account.
