Many of the approaches that we draw on at Grockit — adaptive web-based learning, study group formation, embedded assessment, computer support for collaborative learning, educational applications of data mining and social network analysis, learning in games, and the benefits of practice, feedback, spacing, teaching, discussing — are no longer exclusively discussed in academic journals and conference proceedings. Several of the researchers and practitioners in these areas have hit the blogosphere, where ideas are informally sketched, quickly shared, and freely accessed. Here are 25 such blogs that are currently in my newsreader:
