Oliver’s paper

Oliver’s paper (Oliver, 2001)
This article by Ron Oliver is a good introduction to the toolbox website. A shared resource, standards and best practice seem like an excellent idea for connectivism and socially constructed learning for educators. I like the visual, multimodal aspects of the website and the learning modules. They are inviting, colourful, more likely to connect with young people and those who are used to Internet capacities. By using authentic , contextualised projects, these learning resources seem well based in online pedagogies and make best use of technologies.
