"The Molecular Sciences Institute is an independent, non-profit research laboratory that combines genomic experimentation and computer modeling. The mission of the MSI is to predict the behavior of cells and organisms in response to defined genetic and environmental changes. Progress toward this goal will significantly increase our understanding of biological systems and help catalyze radical changes in how diseases are understood and treated. Moreover, by enabling a more predictive biological understanding, work at MSI should enable a design-based engineering of biological systems and thus help bring about improvements in agriculture and in the environment.

My paper at Ed-Media 2008. Abstract; In 2007, Delft University of Technology started Delft OCW (Open Courseware), a project with the objective of publishing educational resources online. This paper focuses on the future of this project, and describes the results of the research on its sustainability. The advice includes (i) the development of a more decentralized environment for Open Educational Resources (OER), (ii) the involvement of other OER projects, educational institutes, private organizations, and end-users, (iii) the management and support of this environment through tools and protocols, and (iv) deploying various business and revenue models to address the full potential of the project.

NARCIS has been developed by the KNAW to increase visibility and retrievability of Dutch scientific research. NARCIS gives access to scientific information consisting of full-text publications from all the Dutch universities, KNAW, NWO, and a number of research institutes, the datasets of the institute DANS, as well as descriptions of research projects, institutes and researchers. Research news from, among others, Intermediair Nieuws, Science Guide and several universities is presented on the homepage of NARCIS with access to the full articles. The news content is refreshed every hour. NARCIS can notify you automatically by an RSS feed on new full-text publications, datasets and the newest research in your area of interest.

Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems. The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.

We are going to have to seize on the current crisis to make transformative change and conjure up new institutions - or least new learning paradigms. One of our core values must be to seize these "new ways of sharing ideas or organizing human life," to be compulsive sharers and utilize these tools and our learning networks to transform our schools, our communities and our world.

LearnHub is for people who love learning and sharing knowledge with others. It is a set of tools that make learning online fun and engaging, and teaching online easy and effective.

great website... all you need for creating or joining a thriving learning community..

The EdITLib Digital Library is your source for peer-reviewed and published articles and papers on the latest research, developments, and applications related to all aspects of Educational Technology and E-Learning.

The Mine! project is about equipping people with tools and functionality to enable them: * take charge of their data (content, relationships, transactions, knowledge) * arrange (analyse, manipulate, combine, mash-up) it according to their needs and preferences and * share it on their own terms * whilst connected and networked on the web.

dScribe, short for "digital and distributed scribes," is a methodology developed by students and faculty at the University of Michigan to leverage the interest and talent of students in working with faculty and staff to transform educational material into open educational resources (OER).

This book integrates research, action research, best practice and case studies detailing how some educators have embraced the opportunities afforded by mobile learning. In particular, it brings together a range of scenarios, solutions and discussions relating to mobile learning in development and other resource challenged contexts.
