The View from Israel - Sharing, Innovating, and Collaborating in a Global World

Today, the educational world spins on collaboration and knowledge sharing. We have rapidly departed from an age when few teachers opened their doors to guest observations and putting on display one’s best practices, to an age filled with the sharing of open educational resources, courses, and practices. As this has happened, open content has become an increasingly accepted part of the curriculum, especially with the rise of COVID-19.

One is no longer a lone ranger when designing, developing, using, or assessing course content and associated pedagogy. Inter-institutional collaboration is the new normal in this age of fully online e-learning and various forms of blended learning. There is an increasing need to share best practices about open educational resources and effective online learning environments. Our guests this week, Miri Shonfeld and Eli Shmueli, are pedagogical and technological experts in bringing people together from around the world to discuss vital educational ideas, issues, trends, and movements. They create consortia, mobilize educational expertise, and engage in timely faculty development and training.
