  • At present, most teachers wince at the very mention of virtual learning platforms. Most VLPs are a horrific combination of required - the government has declared that all schools must have one - and useless. Unconnected and underdeveloped, many VLPs are devoid of content: empty cathedrals, monuments to technological failure.
  • "The students we teach come from a media age; they are visually bombarded from every angle. As teachers we have to compete against their entertainment. A worksheet is not enough to engage them any more."
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Fears have been expressed that the bank will encourage teachers to skimp on planning, encouraging them to copy and paste material at the last minute like their more irresponsible students.
  • A star rating like that used by eBay will allow teachers to rank resources they have tried and approved, encouraging - as Iglesias puts it - "the cream to rise to the top".
  • Because the project is entirely open source, downloaded resources can be adapted and changed without fear of breaching copyright laws.
  • Developed with EU funding and pioneered in Spain, the bank's source code is free for other countries to use and copy.
  • To maintain quality assurance, all of the bank's resources will be vetted by local authorities and/or the national learning grid.
  • In the next academic year, all schools will have access to a new National Digital Resource Bank.
  • The idea is to pull together all the resources created by teachers, schools and public funding into one central location.
  • "We should be promoting tools rather than content," says Jenkins. "Students should be encouraged to be critical by remixing, commenting on and sharing the resources they are given. They should be creating their own content.
