  The Western Australian Department of Education and Training (WA DET) delivers education and skills development to people in the state. WA DET administers education across a region roughly one-third of the Australian land mass. This vast geography presents the department with a range of challenges, including building the skills of teachers at schools in remote areas of the state. The challenge was how to deliver education to a generation to whom electronic messaging, virtualization, and shared presence is second nature. WA DET turned to an online teaching and learning model supported by Oracle collaboration and portal technologies to bring K12 education into the 21st century.

whitepaper Student Demand for Streaming Lecture Video: Empirical Evidence From Undergraduate Economics Classes2007-12-21 University of Colorado
  Real-time lectures recorded on video and streamed over the Internet are a useful supplement to non-classroom learning. However, because recording confines the instructor to the podium, the classroom experience is diminished when there is less social interaction. This study uses choice experiment data to estimate economics students' willingness to pay for streaming lecture video and instructor movement away from the podium. Results show a divide between students who like the flexibility of catching up on missed classes with video and students who do not. For this former group, video enhances the learning experience and students are willing to pay an additional $90 per course for video. An important source of streaming lecture video's value to students is its impact on performance.

whitepaper The Power to Know You're Making a Difference: Embracing Insight Initiatives in Education2007-11-01 SAS Institute
  Education is a modern imperative - so much so that insight initiatives are emerging in all sectors and at all levels of education. And as noted here, it is not alone. The corporate, government and healthcare sectors also are taking on this sort of work, for a host of different reasons. So it's time for all to use the CASE method. Let's learn from other sectors, learn from each other and learn from own work in an effort to bring more meaningful, deep learning to students. They deserve best. They deserve, as Carlyle argues, activity with insight. They deserve to learn, live and thrive.
