J. J. Similarly, it makes sense for students to watch video of the clearest math teacher or the most distinct analyst of the Revolutionary War rather than having thousands of separate efforts. Professors will have more time for direct discussion with students--not to mention the cost savings--and material will be better presented. In a 2008 survey of first-and second-year medical students at Harvard, those who used accelerated video lectures reported being more focused and learning more material faster than when they attended lectures in person.

And yet in the face of all evidence, we rely almost entirely on passive learning. Students listen to lectures or they read and then are evaluated on the basis of their ability to demonstrate content mastery. They aren't asked to actively use the knowledge they are acquiring.
N. L. "Active learning classrooms"—which gather students at tables, with furniture that can be rearranged and integrated technology—help professors interact with their students through the use of media and collaborative experiences.

Polar bears hunt seals from sea ice, but could drown ff forced to swim long distances in open water.
Satellite photos 26 by America's space agency, NASA, illustrate the fearful 27 to such bears. An image shows the amount of Arctic Sea ice in 1979. Another image shows the record minimum set this year on September 16th. The shrinkage is 28 an area greater than Texas, an impossible distance for even the 29 polar bear to swim.
Scientists say fossil fuels are increasing carbon 30 in the atmosphere. This not only warms the oceans, but threatens biodiversity in cold and warm waters alike. As the carbon dioxide is increased in the atmosphere, a high 31 , about 40 percent of that, goes back into the ocean, and so it's increasing the acid content of the ocean and that's threatening fisheries.
Scientists at a recent conference at Columbia University's Earth Institute said less ice 32 draw some shipping away from the Panama Canal. This is because a northern route, though still risky, reduces the distance between Europe and Asia by about 6,500 kilometers.
