 * Support WP:MOSTM is quite clear on this, there is no reason to capitalize the entire word just because they want us to.  TJ   Spyke   02:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

This article very out-of-date
The article doesn't mention their interest in MOOCs or their work with the Gates Foundation.

"'Next Generation Learning Challenges, a grant maker created by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with the higher-education technology group Educause and other organizations, is an unusual philanthropic model in at least two ways: how involved the foundation remains after its money has been awarded, and its interest in seeing the money go to for-profit companies as well as nonprofits...Since 2010, the Gates foundation has given nearly $65-million to the Next Generation program. The program has awarded more than $37-million to date.'" http://chronicle.com/article/Next-Generation-Grant/140301

October 2010:

How the Gates Foundation Will Spend Its Education-Technology Dollars If you work in education technology, get ready. The Gates money is coming. Waves of it. This fall the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and several partners will announce a new project aimed at harnessing technology to help prepare students for college and get them to graduation. The senior program officer leading that effort is Josh Jarrett, a former software entrepreneur with a Harvard M.B.A. who joined Gates after five years with the consulting firm McKinsey & Company. In an interview, he previewed that program and offered his take on the online-learning scene.

Q: You’ve teamed with Educause, the college IT group, to start a program called Next Gen Learning Challenges. Describe the project.

A: What we envision is a multiyear, multiwave program, where every six to 12 months we issue a new set of challenges. And we’ll issue a set of challenges this fall around shared open-core courseware, around learning analytics, around blended learning, and around new, deeper forms of learning and engagement using interactive technologies. There’s a big gap between R&D and high-impact solutions at scale. We’re trying to participate in some of the effort to help those most promising solutions get across that chasm.
