Knowledge, Learning, Community

These were posted on the Contact North newsletter November 4, and then on Tony Bates's own website a day later. In many respects they're what we've heard from Tony Bates before, but the presentation of the ten items puts these ideas together in a nice package. One thing that's key is, as Bates says, "we are beginning to see the advantages of media and open educational resources for teaching and learning." But as he has said many times in the past, teacher training and support are key (so are, I would argue, proper support for everyone else in the system, from technologist to administrator). And some specific lessons learned include the need for flexible assessment, flexible learning spaces, and better online access and equity.
