The eduFire Blog

It’s cool to see more mentions of eduFire these days. Even a few tweets which is cool to see. :) Today I came across a couple of cool mentions and thought I’d blog about them.

The first is in Clayton Christensen’s new book Disrupting Class. A while back I connected with one of Clayton’s co-authors, Michael Horn. Michael and I had a great chat about the future of education and it’s an honor to see eduFire mentioned in the book even if it’s just a couple of sentences (below). The authors describe the emergence of “user-generated, collaborative learning libraries through which participants worldwide can instruct and learn from one another”:

EduFire is another mover in this area. It provides a place for tutors to work with students.

We also had a short write-up in a TechPluto article entitled “Five Frontrunners of e-learning 2.0″.

They aim to create a platform which allows live learning taking place all over the Internet anytime from anywhere. They also give an opportunity to the tutors to get paid for the time a tutor invests into live-tutoring. The best part is that the tutor sets the price of tutoring and majority of that price goes into teacher’s pocket only (unlike the KPOs, charging big money from the learners and feeding meager bucks to the tutors).

Thanks for the mentions guys! Cool to be mentioned and associated with some of the other companies doing cool things on the forward edge of learning.
