This book presents the main outcomes of the OERtest project in six chapters. It provides the reader with the foundation for the development of envisaged framework, organised into the four topics: assessment methods; requirements and standards of resources; credentialisation, certification and recognition and inter-institutional collaboration. The third chapter is devoted to different scenarios of open learning in order to obtain in-depth understanding of the OER challenges and bring closer a basis for identifying vital differences among them to better address these challenges. - See more at: http://www.oer-europe.net/open_learning_recognition#sthash.ahPB725T.dpuf

Supporting Deeper Learning in the Classroom

Supporting Deeper Learning in the Classroom | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
For today’s students to effectively compete in the global workforce, they must develop the skills, understandings, and mindsets necessary to prepare them for the careers and challenges of tomorrow. This means more than learning to read and write – it means being able to master academic content and apply that knowledge across contexts in a meaningful way.

Blended Learning That Works by Diane Senffner and Leslie Kepler | Helge Scherlund's eLearning News

Blended Learning That Works by Diane Senffner and Leslie Kepler | Helge Scherlund's eLearning News | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Learning is not one size fits all. Blended learning empowers us to give employees access to training in a useable format when they need it, often from wherever they are able to access it.

Shelly Reckow VanVoorst's curator insight, October 25, 2015 11:13 AM

I scooped this article because it actually has a very cool and useful PDF file that is attached to it (click under the photo of the book cover).  This PDF file is good resource for blended learning, especially for a teacher that has not implemented yet in their classroom but they are considering this approach to education. The link only provides the first three pages of the PDF file, and the remainder of the article is available for purchase.  However, this snippet is still a good starter bit of information, and for those that are truly looking for a resource, this might be the one to consider.  I hope that teachers considering a blending learning style will reference this article and perhaps look up more information about it and what others thought of the information before purchasing the final product.

DOAB: Directory of Open Access Books

The primary aim of DOAB is to increase discoverability of Open Access books. Academic publishers are invited to provide metadata of their Open Access books to DOAB. Metadata will be harvestable in order to maximize dissemination, visibility and impact. Aggregators can integrate the records in their commercial services and libraries can integrate the directory into their online catalogues, helping scholars and students to discover the books. The directory will be open to all publishers who publish academic, peer reviewed books in Open Access and should contain as many books as possible, provided that these publications are in Open Access and meet academic standards.
