This site enables one to research his/her online options with our database of more than 1,600 schools by filtering his/her choices by subject, degree level, tuition, and more to find an online school that will fit his/her needs.

The world's educational philosophy has been changed , and now that we can reach all off the sources online with a computer and Internet connection. This database is quite a beneficial source in terms of its vast filter and content.

For the past 3 years, UNESCO has been working to provide advice and guidance to governments and other stakeholders seeking to leverage increasingly ubiquitous and affordable mobile technologies for learning. UNESCO has conducted research in a number of areas, such as mobile reading, mobile learning policies, and promoting gender equality with ICTs. The resulting publications describe the unique educational advantages of mobile technology and articulate strategies to build policy environments in which these advantages can take root and grow.

Here are some recommendations for policy to mainstream OEP by European Foundation for Quality in e-Learning (EFQUEL).

Brief introduction to Open Educational Reosurces

It is a good video explaining OERs :)

This article is about opportunities and challenges of open educational resources for higher education. Moreover, some open educational resources examples such as MIT Open Course Ware (http://ocw.mit.edu) are given.

It's quite useful for us to see the pros and cons of OERs in higher education in the very well written paper. Thanks Sibel!

David Wiley's, one of the pioneers in the field of open education, blog is here. You can find many beneficial sources and reflections prepared by him concerning open education.

Creative Commons is a thing when you are into OER business. This kinda infographic showed its pathway in a clear way. Thanks, Özlem!

edu-sharing is a non-profit organization which helps educational organizations to participate in OER.

In the infographic, it is stated that " 98% of college students own a digital device" and "3 of 4 students say they wouldn't be able to study without technology". Based on these findings, I can suggest that Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) can be a promising trend since students can study in classroom environment with their own technologies.

I agree with this infographic. Technology is the most important way to capture the attention of today's students.

I agree with you, Ceren. Increased student achievement as a consequence of use of Twitter in classes is interesting. I would like to give an example how it can occur. Students can use Twitter to write their short reflections about a topic they learnt in class. It may increase students' engagement in lessons outside of the class and as a result it may foster learning.

This online social networking platform created by UC Irvine on which you can learn English free, use free online English lessons, chat, and find friends and penpals. Along with Livemocha, I strongly recommend this website to my students to interact with native speakers of English.

This is my first İnfographic. Technology is undeniably changing the face of education, and it's easy to see the impact already. Imagine what classrooms will be like in 20 years with the speed of technological innovation. Actually the changes have been already happening.

I was just about to share the same video :( next time I should be faster. The video explains in a very simple and easy to understand way

You can find another video or think as this is your post :D
