"OpenKinect is an open community of people interested in making use of the amazing Xbox Kinect hardware with our PCs and other devices. We are working on free, open source libraries that will enable the Kinect to be used with Windows, Linux, and Mac. The OpenKinect community consists of over 2000 members contributing their time and code to the Project. Our members have joined this Project with the mission of creating the best possible suite of applications for the Kinect. OpenKinect is a true "open source" community! Our primary focus is currently the libfreenect software. Code contributed to OpenKinect where possible is made available under an Apache20 or optional GPL2 license.

Emergent Learning Model The ELM is an attempt to take forward the Open Context Model of Learning, which essentially are fresh ideas about how to re-conceptualise the processes of learning by taking account of the affordances of web 2.0 technologies. The Open Context Model of Learning is a way of thinking about the relationships of learning such that a (teacher) develops both a subject understanding as well as an ability in the (learner) to take forward their learning in that subject. That is often taken to mean through classroom interactions, but it doesn't have to mean only that, it could start with learner interactions; conversations, interests and collaboration.

"Hundreds of organizations and individuals have designed and issued Open Badges. They include educators, multinational companies, non-profits, industry alliances, and people interested in professional development."

The Heutagogic Archives provides comment on various aspects of 21st Century Learning from the perspective of the Learner-Generated Contexts Research Group. They are written by fred garnett (at gmail) and are sometimes complemented by comments from some of the others in that loose affiliation. The title comes from the Open Context Model of Learning, our view of a post web 2.0 pedagogy which incorporates the heutagogic playing with form, based on andragogic collaboration, that allows us to create something new; innovatively opening up possibilities for new futures; what we call the PAH Continuum, best discussed in the Craft of Teaching 2011. We would like to see learner-centred co-creation processes driving the education system.

European event on Open Data

Open Badge platform

The aim of this scoreboard is to highlight the huge potential that European institutions have in the world of OER and to help visualize this potential by compiling the existing European-provided MOOCs available on different open websites. European MOOCs are those provided by European institutions, regardless of the platform that hosts them. All of the MOOCs accounted for in the scoreboard are also listed in the MOOC aggregator on this website. Please refer to our FAQ for more information about how this scoreboard is built, what are the sources of information and how the visualization works.

Digital Badges: An Annotated Research Bibliography selected and annotated by Sheryl Grant and Kristan E. Shawgo and published on HASTAC on February 27, 2013. (Looking for the Badges for Learning Research collection? Click here.) This bibliography has been curated by Sheryl Grant, Director of Social Networking for the HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competition, and PhD student at the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) and annotated by Kristan Shawgo, HASTAC Special Projects Manager and Ci-BER Library Liaison, and recent MSLS graduate from SILS at UNC-CH.  Why a Badges Bibliography? Following the  flood of response to the HASTAC/MacArthur Foundation's Badges for Lifelong Learning initiative in 2011, and the release of Mozilla's Open Badges Infrastructure, HASTAC decided to assemble this Badges Bibliography v.1 as a humble attempt to organize the universe of knowledge about digital badges. More importantly, we hope this bibliography will come to represent a cross-disciplinary approach that inspires questions, perspectives, and approaches to badges that reflect the inherently collaborative nature of badge systems.

"Where do you go if you want to get better at your web skills? How do you even know what's important to learn? The Web Literacy Map contains the competencies and skills that Mozilla and our community of stakeholders believe are important to pay attention to when getting better at reading, writing and participating on the web. The Web Literacy Map is part of Mozilla's ongoing goal to create a generation of webmakers - those who can not only elegantly consume but also write and participate on the web. Read more"

"At Peer 2 Peer University, Badges are a form of feedback that learners give to each other in order to improve their projects. You can create a new Badge, submit a Project for a Badge, or, if you are an "Expert" and already have a Badge, award it to someone else."
