Digital skills website of the OU. Includes a self-assessment tool.

Interesting - people learn in MOOCS and at least as well as face to face classes. The paper is published in IRRODL so will be worth looking at in detail.

Latest video from CCNZ promoting CC in schools.

A response to the recent EU ruling that companies can look at the private correspondence of their workers if it took place during working hours. Also implied is the question 'What hours are working hours?'.

Critique of telling kids to have a growth mindset.

Stephen Downes is running a Mooc on Personal Learning.

Gardner Campbell on the power of networked learning and notes that digital literacy is becoming impoverished.

Description of a step by step process for running webinars using the Google ecosystem. Pretty organised!

Pretty rubbish article that doesn't differentiate between fully online and blended teaching and none of the commenters understand this either.

Article on using Turnitin to support the development of writing skills with international and dyslexic students.

Short piece from Duke Uni on why they are still using Panopto.

Javascript rendering of what it can feel like to be dyslexic.

Pretty much what we do here.

A set of virtual labs. Costs $50 per student per semester.

"Learning Space as Creation Space The next generation of learning spaces will take all the characteristics of an active learning environment-flexibility, collaboration, team-based, project-based-and add the capability of creating and making. Project teams will be both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary and will likely need access to a broad array of technologies. High-speed networks, video-based collaboration, high-resolution visualization, and 3-D printing are but a few of the digital tools that will find their way into the learning space. The ability to rearrange furniture and technology quickly and easily will be highly desirable. Some project activities will need nothing more than comfortable furniture, food, and caffeine. Others will require sophisticated computational analysis and the ability to do rapid prototyping. Acoustics will be a concern and will need to accommodate a wide range of activities. It seems likely that such space will support more than one team or activity simultaneously. That will be a highly desirable trait, fostering serendipitous discovery and innovation. The ability to quickly and easily capture the group's activities and progress will also be desirable. An emerging class of powerful and effective collaboration tools enables project teams to save and store project elements, resources, concepts, plans, designs, models, and renderings-in short, all the "stuff" that a team might find or make."
