Linky, Linky

Looking for a good Friday afternoon dev ed read? Here are a few options:

• Developmental Mathematics Revival is an exciting new blog from Jack Rotman, who leads the AMATYC “New Life Project” and is a liaison with Carnegie’s pathways work. 
• Does college still matter? According to the first ten minutes of today’s Freakonomics podcast, it really does! Steve Levitt says, “Of all the topics that economists have studied, I would say one we are most certain about are the returns to education.” Isn’t it comforting to know that economists are certain about some things?
• The Chronicle’s Jennifer Gonzalez reports on MDRC’s research on learning communities.
• Carnegie has posted the materials from their Statway and Quantway webinar, including an extensive Q&A.
• Can’t get enough dev ed content? Videos and presentations from last September’s National Center for Postsecondary Research Developmental Education Conference are available online.
