Roger Billings shares "The Science of Learning"

I now take a break from Hydrogen to see what else Roger Billings is up to in recent years.  This new video features his work on "Acellus", an online learning tool he refers to as The Science of Learning.  Students are presented with video lectures and then graded on their comprehension.  Based on their responses, Acellus gives them more instruction on the topic or moves them on the next one.  A simple but powerful idea.  The magic happens when the administrators of the program statistically analyze responses from the thousands of students and then refine the videos, tests, and other materials.   More about Roger Billings Acellus Project.  I think you will enjoy this inspiring video.
