A digital journal of learning, teaching and technology. You can read interesting articles on MOOCs, digital writing, peer review and other relevant topics, as well as future of open knowledge.

A very good article on library role in encouraging and supporting the student publishing. It deals mainly with student scientific writing and not so much with student journals, but certainly writing scientific articles is a part of it. The article includes a real-life case study, which to my mind is added value of it. Including scholarly communication skills as part of library training program is a very good idea.

Brief and interesting survey on who, what and why choose MOOCs. Of the incoming students surveyed, 76% said they signed up because of the topic, 75% because it was free, 61% for professional development, and 44% because they wanted to find out what MOOCs are all about. It turned out that 72% of those who enrolled were themselves professional educators.

Thank you for sharing.
It might be a good resource for libraries which helps Beyond Access helps identify ways that public library systems can contribute to achieving local development goals, advance national digital inclusion, and meet Open Government Partnership commitments. Beyond Access also provides matching funds for investments in technology, technical assistance, and training to help achieve these goals through libraries and librarians.
Although I must admit, I am not personally familiar with any of their projects.

If we consider our digital identity as important as physical identity, then we must be aware of ways how to protect ourselves from cyberbullying.

Perhaps a bit narrow, but relevant to me. The article touches upon some aspects of privacy and openness bothering librarians. On the one hand people themselves are sharing lots of information about their reading lists, reading habits and favorites. On the other hand, libraries are trying to preserve patrons' privacy and protect their privacy from unwanted eyes.
