Michael B. Horn: Pearson Goes Bold, Acquires Connections Education

The announcement that Pearson is acquiring Connections Education in a move that should reverberate across the field of online learning and the education world more broadly.
My fellow Liberarting Learning blog contributor Tom Vander Ark wrote an insightful post about the acquisition today that I recommend highly.
