These days I am visiting the 6th Open Classroom event organized by EDEN where I spoke about our experience with Second Life and its use for mathematics teaching (slides). It is unfortunate that I found no time to blog about the plenary lectures until now, the end. All the plenary talks are actually webcasted live from the EDEN webpage, possibly they will be archived for the future.

Jan Hylén just finished to report the results published in May 2007 on "Giving Knowledge for Free - The Emergence of Open Educational Resources" - the report can be downloaded freely but I had a chance to glance at it before I lost my printed copy. It reviews several Web 2.0 technologies that enable knowledge sharing. I was glad to notice that many of them are readily available here on the JEM portal. Then it mentions LibraryThing, which sounds very intriguing.

On another note, it really looks like learning repositories based on metadata are dead. Community reviews are the new way to go and we are currently allowing it for Software descriptions.
