When most people, myself included, think about online learning, the thought goes towards courses developed by professionals that are designed to teach. Many even teach you to think. But as I was reading blogs today, I ran across one that's a good example of online learning that isn't part of an actual course. This one is out of this world.
If you click the link I've provided, you'll be accessing a lesson on relativity that is straight from outer space. Really! Expedition 7's NASA ISS Science Officer, Ed Lu, is blogging from the space station, and he spent one of his blogs talking about relativity and what it means to his current position in space.
He even talks about his own experiment that he did using a square of thin silvery reflective film. It's not an experiment that most people on earth could perform. The best part about it, is that I learned something, and I wasn't even trying.
