Project Description
Conversations on Quality is part of a national conversation on the quality of online learning in K-12 education. The conversations hosted by MIT and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will (a) explore a range of critical dimensions including: learning outcomes, deep learning, accelerated learning, learning access/success of underrepresented students, more flexible learning, and relevance and quality of learning; and (b) further understanding of how participants can leverage and learn from each other’s successes and challenges, and how to realize greater goals for online/blended through collaboration and synergistic interaction of participants’ practice and research.
The conversations focused on three major themes:
- the design of high-quality learning environments
- the assessment of high-quality learning environments and
- the ability to scale high-quality courseware.
