OECD/CERI, 2009: Texbook of tomorrow

• “Another driver facilitating schools purchase and use of DLR seem to be different ways of facilitating for school to find relevant DLR and to log-in to them.

• The Danish UNI-Login relieves companies of the burden of insuring that individual teachers and students are entitled to use the DLR.”

• Some vocational schools use UNI-Login to login to itslearning.

• Once in, single-sign-on gives access to other services, which use UNI-Login to handle their subscriptions.

• Most commercial digital learning resources are subscription based.

Experiences and strategies.......

• Former government strategies:

• 100 mill. Euro to buy digital learning resources

• (New) Effective distribution channels (push, handling purchase etc.)

• New government strategies...?

• Our strategies ;-)

• More users, more users, more users, more users

• Streaming, new types of resources (e.g. national exams)

• Evaluation/communities around publishers’ resources

• Merging resources from publishers and teachers

• Easier to create sub-environments

• e.g. “Primary ed.” or “Digital” or apps.
