An inspirational talk about how it is possible to create free education for everyone using technology.

Salman Khan talks about how and why he created a carefully structured series of educational videos offering complete curricula in math. He shows how using the videos students can watch lectures "at home", and do the interactive exercises "in the classroom" with the teacher or peers.

Great video giving advice to students on how to approach peer assessment.

Very useful page detailing items to consider in building an online community. Most interesting of all is the comment that 'good content is spread by your community'.

Sam, indeed valid points. I feel they will be useful when thinking about the project.

thanks sam - just what I need to get my blogging started - I better build up some content and a schedule !

A resource I developed in order to effectively convey to students the task they would be undertaking as part of the coursework. This enabled students to mentally prepare for the task at hand.

An excellent example of how Peer learning communities can work effectively with minimal educator input.

This is the second post in a three part series on group work in online learning communities. Post one, featured why we need group work in online learning,  and post three will be on how to evaluate.

Thank you for sharing. would be useful for the final project design.

An interesting video showing students views on feedback and assessment. This is a good resource to inform educators of factors to account for when designing these learning elements.

A good online-paper which explains learning and teaching theory applicable to engineering educators. Most importantly describes how practical or hands-on learning is essential for engineering students.

A handy infographic looking at different methods of online research and gives a flowchart with different web search options.

Tools are always in demand. Sam, have you used any of proposed (less popular ones).

Good breakdown and explanation of Blended Learning as an approach to learning and teaching. This combines and aligns learning undertaken in face to face sessions with learning opportunities created online.

Summary of practical methods (with links) to assess groups and individuals within groups

A tool for keeping social bookmarks. Another one worth trying would be MENDELEY.

Humanistic education - Good overview at wikipedia.

Humanism - Carl Rogers - "best known contribution - the 'core conditions' for facilitative (counselling and educational) practice - congruence (realness), acceptance and empathy)." "We cannot teach another person directly; we can only facilitate his learning"

Flipped learning - a staff development session plan from another university

Sandra, thank you for sharing this inspiring resource!

This guide describes the standards that designers must achieve when designing a learning object for the NLN. Worth a glance - as pedagogy certainly comes first.

Sandra, I plan to use this when thinking about the form of the final Project. Thank you for sharing.

The Effective Practice Resource Exchange supports users of the Effective Practice in a Digital Age publication by providing a supplementary suite of online recourses that can be updated and added to over time. These resources explore through different themes and viewpoints the elements that underpin effective designing for learning.
