| Creating Learning Communities | |
| Creating Learning Communities is available online. This free book is also available for download in several versions. It is about the future of learning, and the potential impact on society of the cooperative community life-long learning centers. | |
| The Theory and Practice of Online Learning Second Edition | |
| Every chapter in the widely distributed first edition has been updated, and four new chapters on current issues such as connectivism and social software innovations have been added. Essays by practitioners and scholars active in the complex, diverse, and rapidly evolving field of distance education blend scholarship and research; practical attention to the details of teaching and learning; and mindful attention to the economics of the business of education. |  |
| Opening Up Education | |
| You can download the complete text or each chapter seperately of "Opening Up Education: The Collective Advancement of Education through Open Technology, Open Content, and Open Knowledge" published by MIT Press. Given the abundance of open education initiatives that aim to make educational assets freely available online, the time seems ripe to explore the potential of open education to transform the economics and ecology of education. Despite the diversity of tools and resources already available—from well-packaged course materials to simple games, for students, self-learners, faculty, and educational institutions—we have yet to take full advantage of shared knowledge about how these are being used, what local innovations are emerging, and how to learn from and build on the experiences of others. |  |
