Liberating learning: experiences of MOOCs
No full textThe study reported here sought in-depth accounts of learning on a MOOC from ten people who completed one of the University of Southampton’s first two such courses during 2014. Its goal is to better understand their motivations for studying in this way, and the learning opportunities and problems they encountered. Findings were discussed with five academics involved in leading, developing and teaching on the MOOCs in order to explore issues from both perspectives. Given the small-scale nature of the project no specific recommendations are made as a result of it. Instead, the final paragraphs offer reflections from the project team about how the research is likely to impact their own practice in the future, and suggestions about how learners might make the most of the opportunities MOOCs offe

EdShare: repositories for teaching and learning
No full textInstitutional repositories for teaching and learning require some subtly different approaches to the now well established institutional repositories for research. The EdShare resource at the University of Southampton has an evolving interface on the EPrints software platform, with new functionality being designed in close cooperation with a demanding set of users. It is moving away from the formality of the research repository and closer towards a Web 2.0 look and feel. With a growing emphasis on multimedia resources the focus will visually be more on the resource and less on the metadata. EdShare is being designed to support people working together and developing new ideas and resources for mutual benefit. Sharing for collaboration and re-use is a key motivation. This is being encouraged by mandating minimum metadata, while providing good exemplars, and providing a range of viewing options from private to full Open Access

William Morris Papers
No full textEnglish author, designer, manufacturer, and artist William Morris (1834-1896) is best known for his association with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and as a central figure of the English Arts and Crafts Movement. He was influential in the emergence of socialism in England in the nineteenth century, having founded the Socialist League in 1884. Morris's more well known works include The Defence of Guenevere and Other Poems (1858), The Earthly Paradise (18681870), A Dream of John Ball (1892) and News from Nowhere (1893). In 1891, Morris founded the Kelmscott Press, which produced books modeled after fifteenth-century incunabula. The press produced 53 titles during its 7-year operation. His 1896 edition of the Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, called the Kelmscott Chaucer, is often regarded a pinnacle of book design. The collection includes correspondence from Sydney Cockerell, Jane Morris, and William Morris, a manuscript of poetry by Stopford Augustus Brooke, and nine reels of microfilm of the British Library's William Morris papers
