5 methods
meet your 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.” Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European 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
