  5. Learning materials “on the move” • New educational organisation and approaches: more emphasis on independent learning, competences, authentic learning environments • New providers: other providers, new partnerships, new roles publishers • The role of ICT (digital learning resources, VLEs, quality, metadata / traceability / access) • Shortage of teachers • New ways of funding the learning resources

  6. Educational Resources Monitor Research • Annual examination of trends in the field of educational materials • two-dimension model: • digital & paper-based • coherent packages of subject-related learning resources (we call it texbooks) & learning resources that don't have the coherency and are smaller, for more flexible use (we call it flexible learning materials) • what is used, how much, why and how searched for and selected?

  7. Main findings • The texbooks are still widely used • There are interesting differences between sectors, gender, experience and topics on the use • Most teachers still use paper • Digital is more flexible and more used in "newer" education • Searching for resources goes by Google, it costs a lot of time

  12. Most important: options for independent work options for differentiation coverage of (relation to) curriculum goals (examination requirements) instruction and didactics (pedagogy) costs visual impression of the material target group Important: role of ICT tests (evaluation) user experiences of colleagues short description of the contents long description of the contents (2 a4) Not (so) important: availability required educational time studies to comparisons between methods table of contents bibliographic information reviews of third parties (such as journals) market share of the method What do teachers find important when searching for flexible learning materials?
