Open Educational Resources (OER) are high-quality, openly licensed, online educational materials that offer an extraordinary opportunity for people everywhere to share, use, and reuse knowledge. They also demonstrate great potential as a mechanism for instructional innovation as networks of teachers and learners share best practices.

The use and importance of integrating Open Education Resources into your classroom.

"Through the intentional development and sequencing within the CCSS, it is critical that educators and curriculum developers consider new and existing instructional materials through a different lens when looking at their alignment with student learning standards."

What are 21st Century skills?

Highlights * Flipped class has the capacity for building lifelong skills for 21st Century learners. * Misunderstanding of the key elements necessary for successful flipping * Under-utilisation of conceptual frameworks and design in flipped classroom * Need for stronger evidence in evaluating student outcomes in flipped classrooms

Ping, in our last meeting you brought this to our attention. My stepdaughter is moving from Kazakhstan (KZ) to live with us in Iowa. She is a native Russian language speaker and has studied English. KZ has a K11 system. I hoped that she would be able to attend the 12th grade here in Iowa. This summer I discovered that if a student graduated from a foreign high school they are not entitled to FAPE. She graduated from the KZ system this past spring at 17 years old. Now that we know about these online K12 courses we have a new avenue of opportunity to help her prepare for college.

Student involvement in decision making process

This study contributes to research and practice through the theoretical development and empirical investigation of the role of IT use in organizational learning. We empirically examined the relationship between internal IT use, knowledge transfer effectiveness, absorptive capacity, and franchisee performance on a sample of 783 independently owned franchisees using a comprehensive dataset comprised of both primary and secondary data. The overall results indicate support for the argument that IT use impacts knowledge transfer effectiveness, and absorptive capacity, and that the influence of IT use on firm performance is completely mediated by absorptive capacity. The results are stable across the choice of statistical method and the operationalization of financial performance. Our findings suggest that IT use is an important learning mechanism that enables knowledge outcomes and dynamic capabilities within franchisees. Firms need to recognize these impacts of IT use in order to leverage IT to its fullest extent. This might be more important than ever before, given the rapidly changing business environments and investments in IT-based systems to manage knowledge resources. We hope that the findings of this study encourage the continued examination of the role that IT plays in organizational learning, and the outcomes of such learning.
