Educationtoday findings 18 march 2011
This document summarizes an evaluation of the OECD's online education initiatives. It describes the scope of initiatives like Microblogging on Twitter, an ideas marketplace, and collaborative platforms. It outlines the methodology used, including scoping initiatives, analyzing data, and interviewing decision-makers, staff, and communities. The findings indicate the initiatives boosted dissemination and recognition as a clearinghouse, but did not fully foster engagement or coherence across OECD education work yet. They provide evidence-based information with potential for peer-learning and shaping policy agendas.
