Commentary by Ramesh C. Sharma on Littlejohn, A. (2003) Reusing Online Resources, Chapter 15: Sharing and Re-Use of Learning Resources Across a Trans-National Network, by Joachim Wetterling and Betty Collis

Abstract

Abstract: The main concern of this chapter is to discuss the sharing and re-use of various types of learning resources. The authors describe the CANDLE project where an academic community from 12 universities and colleges from seven countries collaborated in order to identify various issues on re-use of learning resources. Another focus of this chapter is to examine the pedagogical methodology, re-engineering the course material and different technological support tools engaged in the process. Editors: Allison Littlejohn and Simon Buckingham Shum
