IT TAKES A VILLAGE--AND SUPPORT: Thoughtful observations from the nonprofit SRI International (funded by Gates Foundation) on how to run a blended learning program, based on a year-long study of 5,500 students in 38 public high schools in the Miami-Dade County Public School district in this report: Implementing Online Learning Labs in Schools and Districts. Big conclusion: you've got to prep the school, the teachers, the school staff and yes, the students if online or blended learning programs are going to succeed. "No support" equals "no learning."
