Open+Resources

A number of institutions are developing protocols and data bases for developing and sharing resources across institutions. We can benefit from the resources, we can participate in developing resources, and we might learn from the way in which other institutions lead in international collaboration on resource development and sharing. Note: this page is a collaborative space for continuing the discussion about Open Resources which is on the Flexible Learning Studio website: Open Resource initiatives include: The [|KTH] (the Swedish Royal Technical University) has very developed very interesting [|protocols], a data base and a website international collaboration in the design and development of materials and resources, and for sharing internationally. The resources are ‘open’ to all staff at participating institutions at no cost, and to students at a nominal cost. As a collaborating institution, we have access to a rich resource and materials database, as we participated with KTH in the international [|Asia-link] project in Sustainable Development, which included partners from the UK, Sweden, the Philippines and Malaysia. Prof. Mike Purvis was the project manager of the Asia-Link project. The BBC has developed a commercial [|site] to market its considerable library of short video clips, and is trialling a version for educational use, which we will be participating in from the 25th March. It provides clips from a wide range of subjects and programmes, and it also has an interesting tagsonomy for searching for materials. = MIT [|Open Course Ware]  = = MIT provides free access to course materials, for anyone to = = · Get lecture notes, problem sets, labs and more. = · Watch lecture videos and demonstrations.
