Open Course Conversations
This online discussion accompanies a videoconference discussion taking place twice monthly via the World Bank's Global Development Learning Network (GDLN).
Open Course Conversations is a series of global discussions around e-learning and educational development, open content resources, and open course collaboration. Each Open Course Conversation involves a group of educators from one or more Third World countries, an expert who presents a valuable free resource for e-learning, and the moderators. The purpose of the conversation is to present promising e-learning resources, pedagogies and technologies and, through critical discussion, evaluate them to see how well they meet the real-world needs of teachers globally. A major goal is to identify partners for future collaborations around e-learning.
Hosts of Open Course Conversations: Anil Srivastava and Robert Stephenson
