Impact of Open Educational Resources on Online Learning - Inside Online Schools | The 21st Century | Scoop.it

"Open Educational Resources (OER) have created opportunities for people to learn things they may never have dreamed possible.  Access to educational materials has become available through online sites across the globe.  Many people may be familiar with the term “open source” as it applies to how computer programmers have shared information.  However, the term “OER” may be less familiar."

Article from Good Info - Article Directory and entitled Educational Breakthrough! The Impact of Technology on College Education - By John Maxted (Educational Breakthrough!
Fiona Harvey's comment, June 23, 2012 12:17 PM
Having read this I think its important to note the source - seems to be from an online course provider and whilst I am an advocate of online distance education, the article doesn't acknowledge the 'reality' of being an online student. Whilst the technology is available to interact in the ways the author has described, the reality is that because of the flexibility of access to study we are expected to complete more work in our already busy lives. Timing is an issue in relation to meeting virtually with other students and being around for the tutorial times. What about international students? How are they accommodated within these timescales? More questions than answers here!
Dr. Susan Bainbridge's comment, June 23, 2012 4:56 PM
Hi Fiona,
You are quite right! As an online student myself I know how demanding it can be to juggle work and online learning commitments I live in the Middle East, so I have to get up at 3am for synchronous classes (sigh!).

Nine steps to quality online learning: introduction - Tony Bates

Nine steps to quality online learning: introduction - Tony Bates | The 21st Century | Scoop.it

I developed these nine steps in response to requests about how to ensure quality when starting an online course or program. Now there are lots of excellent e-learning quality assurance standards, organizations and research available online, and I’m not going to duplicate these. Instead, I’m going to suggest a series of practical steps towards implementing such standards.

The unquestioned assumption of online education - The Tech

Online education is growing rapidly. Recently, six new universities have been added to the edX platform. Each new university plans to develop its own set of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses).

Goed artikel met als strekking "The promise of online learning is that new technology can be used to teach more effectively". 

 

Op de kennissessie van Evident: Flipping Education, 5 maart 2013, werd dit door interessante gastsprekers ook duidelijk gemaakt. En wat de kansen zijn voor marketing- en beleidsmedewerkers van onderwijsinstellingen als MBO’s, HBO’s, Universiteiten, Kenniscentra en opleiders in de zakelijke markt. http://www.evident.nl/kennissessies/flipping%20education
