\"\"In seinem Annual Letter 2010<\/a> widmet sich der Microsoft Gr\u00fcnder u.a dem Thema Online Lernen. Neben klassischen face-to-face Lernarrangements werden interaktive und videounterst\u00fctzte Lern-Formate zuk\u00fcnftig die Menschen von den M\u00f6glichkeiten des Internets \u00fcberzeugen und begeistern.<\/p>\n

Most of us have had a teacher whose lectures made a subject seem fascinating even though we didn\u2019t expect that it would be. If you are going to take the time to listen to a lecture, you should hear it from the very best. Now that finding and watching videos is a standard part of the Internet experience, we can put great teachers\u2019 lectures online.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Und Bill bildet sich selbst gerne und regelm\u00e4\u00dfig online weiter…<\/p>\n

I particularly like the physics courses by Walter Lewin and the solid-state chemistry course by Donald Sadoway, both from MIT. When I want to learn a new concept like the Carnot limit on getting usable energy out of heat, I often will watch lectures from different courses to see how it is explained and test my understanding.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oft genug sei in der Vergangenheit schon viel Material interaktiv aufbereitet worden. Dennoch ist dieses Material unstrukturiert verteilt und nur schwer auffindbar. Hier gilt es, Mechanismen zu finden, das Material zu organisieren, zu sichten, zu bewerten und auffindbar zu machen.<\/p>\n

Once we have this material in place, it can be used in many different ways. A teacher can watch and learn how to make a subject more interesting. A teacher can assign subsets of the material to students who are behind and finding something difficult. A teacher can suggest online material to a student who is ahead and wants to learn more. A teacher can assign an interactive session to diagnose where a student is weak and make sure they get practice on the areas that are difficult for them. Self-motivated students can take entire courses on their own. If they want to prove they learned the material to help qualify for a job, a trusted accreditation service independent from any school should be able to verify their abilities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Projekte wie „Academic Earth<\/a>“ schaffen nach Gates Meinung Abhilfe. Die Plattform versammelt renommierte Wissenschafter\/innen im Netz und bietet \u00e4hnlich wie iTunes U interessierten Zugang zu zahllosen Video-Lectures. „Academic Earth“ ist 2009 zu einer der 50 besten Websites<\/a> weltweit gew\u00e4hlt worden.<\/p>\n

Die Vorschl\u00e4ge sind nicht wirklich \u00fcberraschend neu, allerdings in der Person des reichsten und einflu\u00dfreichen Unternehmers und stiftungsvorsitzenden Gates mit Sicherheit nachhaltig verankert und beachtet.<\/p>\n
