In looking at some of MIT’s education work I came across this site:

 

http://web.mit.edu/edtech/casestudies/imoat.html  it seems to be just a collection of various inititiaves they’ve had going on- though the date suggests it only goes up to 2005- but who knows?

 

Related research points to these 2 videos as counterpoints to the khanacademy sort of model, which does have its detractors:

 

 

http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_meyer_math_curriculum_makeover.html

http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html

 

This second one I’d seen before, and particularly like it when the RSA folks get hold of one of these and doll it up- replacing the video with their dynamic art (for ken robinson).
