Design for learning [11 Feb 2006|03:09am] (CNN) -- If you were in high school when Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was at the top of the charts, chances are you spent your day moving from one 45-minute class to another, with a different subject each period. In class, you likely spent most of your time sitting at your desk, listening to lectures and memorizing facts. And the only places you probably could meet with other students were at your locker or in the cafeteria. While these types of traditional schools have served their purpose for decades, new models of teaching and learning have come on the scene. To prepare students for an evolving information-based society, architects are designing innovative schools to support these changes. "Several major educational trends are shaping the planning and design of 21st-century schools," said Jeffery Lackney, an architect and professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. add

Plans for new GRE exam delayed one year [11 Feb 2006|02:45am] (AP) -- Students worried about planned changes to the GRE graduate school entrance exam are getting a reprieve: the test's makeover is being pushed back a year -- until October 2007. A new, longer and more expensive version of the GRE General Test, taken annually by 500,000 students applying to graduate school, was supposed to be rolled out this October. But the Educational Testing Service, which writes and administers the exam, said Wednesday that date would be pushed back because of logistical problems. Most students already take the GRE on a computer, but ETS is switching to a more secure Internet-based system. The change is designed to expand access, but the new version will still be taken only at assigned locations on any one of about 30 test days per year. Mari Pearlman, senior vice president of the higher education division of ETS, said it wasn't clear there would be enough capacity to accommodate all test-takers by this October. 3 add
