Call for chapter proposals

ICDE member, the Open University UK, launches an exciting new collaborative project and invites researchers and practitioners to contribute to a book investigating the use and potential of open educational resources.


Collaborative Learning 2.0: Open Educational Resources aims to deepen and enrich understanding about the diverse range of Web 2.0 tools; raising awareness of the potential of open content, new social tools and new social media afford for collaborative learning. By offering a solid theoretical foundation and precise guidelines on how to produce and use OERs in the form of a book, the project hopes to ensure positive outcomes in terms of 'user-generated knowledge'.

The target audience of this book is the wider educational community across all sectors, in particular those interested in how Web 2.0, social media and emerging technologies and OER will impact on formal education and the social implications that surround collaborative online learning and virtual communities.
