Innovations in Education

Invitation to contribute to a Collaborative Book! =First Edition= The first edition, Education for a Digital World: Advice, Guidelines, and Effective Practice from Around the Globe, has been published by the Commonwealth of Learning and is available to download from their website.

The creation of this book employed a unique interactive collaborative research model, one involving the formation of relationships and the sharing of ideas to produce new thinking. Offering a global perspective, it had almost 50 contributors from around the globe representing education, research, administration, and business.

=Second Edition= We are now working on a 2nd Edition. The tentative title is Innovations in Education. Our goal is to launch /Innovations in Education/ at the 6th Pan-Commonwealth Forum on Open Learning, or PCF6, to be held in November 2010 in India.

We are identifying potential co-authoring opportunities, defining potential clusters or categories of interest, and more. Interested in contributing? We are inviting and encouraging contributions from all over the world. Click on "edit" to jot down your area of research and expertise. If you know of anyone else who would be a strong contributor, please encourage him or her to add their name here.
