criteria
• We’re building a resource that will help
course developers to find and use learning
methods well suited to the type of training
that they do
• You’ll be able to select appropriate
methods for your type of course
• For each method we’ll provide practical
information on how to implement it
• Most importantly, you’ll be able to find real
examples of how the method is used, and
you’ll be able to get in touch with people
using the method to learn more and
perhaps arrange to see it in action.

Data AND the represented knowledge need to be
preserved
Data is the new gold. “We have a huge
goldmine .. Let’s start mining it.”

Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda
• ‘Rising tide’ of data
• May not be re-
producible
• Useful for an indefinite length of time
• Maximise ROI through interoperation
and reuse
