CLOUDWORKS – Inspiration for creating new learning activities?
An interesting application that is being developed by Prof. Grainne Conole and an Open University (Institute of Educational Technology) team [http://iet.open.ac.uk/about/what-we-do.cfm] was brought to my attention today by Chris Pegler (Open University) .
It’s called Cloudworks -http://cloudworks.ac.uk/- and it allows you to find other people’s learning and teaching ideas, designs, tools resources and experiences as well as sharing your own. It is JISC funded as a Curriculum Design project, as part of the OU Learning Design Initiative – www.oudli.open.ac.uk. While it’s in an early development stage, it definitely looks to be a step in the right direction….
