  • 1. Using and discovering learning resources across contexts: eQnet Dr. Riina Vuorikari May 21, 2010 Brussels
  • 2.
    • About learning resources
    • Can learning resources really be reused by teachers from different countries?
      • what makes them travel well?
      • how can they be found and shared easily?
    • eQNet teachers network
    Travel well learning resources
  • 3.
    • Sharing and reuse of digital learning resources are the drivers of a learning object economy
    • Economy of scale: if we all share the content, production costs per unit go down
    • -> Sharing learning resources metadata to improve reuse
    • Did anyone ask: Do teachers think learning resources from a country other than their own are useful for education?
    Why digital learning resources ?
  • 4.
    • Context = country, language, educational system, curriculum...
    • We have gained understanding that some content is more useful than other..
    • e.g. science, cross-curriculum topics, language learning
    Can resources cross contexts?
  • 5. Where to find travel well attributes? 2. Easyness to find the resource (e.g. metadata & searchability) 4. Actual use of resources (e.g. evidence that LO is used in different contexts) 1. Creating resources (e.g. visual, easy translation, language independent,..) 3. Selecting travel well resources (e.g. personal choice vs. based on criteria) Gut feeling?
  • 6. Search for travel well attributes (1)
    • Checklists on quality of learning resources, technical aspects, usability, ....
  • 7. Finding multilingual resources (2)

  • 9. This is what the end user sees

    • Discovering learning resources
    • across language boundaries is challenging!
    • Main problem: the resource & its metadata description are made in a different context from where
    • the resource is discovered and/or actually used
    One part of the problem
  • 11.
      • Learning resources
      • from
      • different countries
      • and
      • in different languages do not cross-reference via hyperlinks!
    Not applicable! The other part of the problem

  • 19. Collections of travel well resources
  • 20. Collections of travel well resources
