This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.
It was closed as part of an automated migration of off-topic to close votes on September 29, 2011.

The question is too broad. It needs to be more specific by pointing to something that is wanted. E.g. "What are some good tools to manage content in classroom learning?" – JohnGB Sep 27 '11 at 7:32

While I think this kind of question would be common on a site dedicated to education, I don't think it is entirely helpful. There are a myriad of sites designed to help build curricula and lessons, but these types of sites are heavily dependent on the teacher -- your teaching style will influence how you use these tools. – jelkimantis Nov 28 '12 at 15:42

Is it possible for e-learning tools to develop higher-order thinking skills?

I'd rephrase the question, from "is it possible" to asking about known strategies, or examples/research/case studies etc. – Jason O'Neil Aug 7 '12 at 5:24

Can computers and technology be used to educate students?

This question doesn't seem like something that is answerable - it is vague in what it is asking, and no matter what answer is given, you could still say "but still..." Perhaps something like "What evidence is there for the effectiveness of students learning purely from computers without a human teacher present?" – Jason O'Neil Aug 7 '12 at 5:22
I reworded this a bit so that it doesn't sound like the question is trying to spark debate. Questions that elicit extended discussion or debate are not constructive. – jmort253 Jan 12 at 21:01

Can spaced repetition systems be used for learning complex material and not just simple facts?

I think this question illustrates the issue that we need a general education stack exchange, rather than a technology-specific one. This task can be completed with or without technology. – jelkimantis Nov 28 '12 at 15:46

I would be most interested in looking at solution providers that cover a comprehensive area (K-12, Senior sciences, Elementary math, Trades Math, etc...) not just standalone products. – Dallas Jan 13 '12 at 21:03

Sounds like an "education question" not an "education technology" question - but now we start to run into the problem - how do you tell the difference? – Joe Corneli Apr 10 at 22:18
