Annotated bibliography - Transparency in Cooperative Online Education

Profiling Online Students in the NKI Distance Education.

In the NKI all users can choose to include their presentation in the open catalogue, by clicking the Global visibility checkbox in their user profile. This is a significant development which should be of interest to EDEN members for three reasons:

Firstly:

• share information about their online course activities with family, friends and colleagues;
• this presentation is used as an online CV to support job applications;

Secondly: (this is a big advantage for the NKI)

• All the positive and trustworthy testimonials from current students and teachers will probably have a positive effect on NKI’s future course enrolments.

Thirdly:

• the fact that so many serious, hard-working and successful students are willing to share achievements and experiences in an open, online catalogue is valuable for the field of online education.
• Online student catalogues may help these students become more visible as a group that deserves more attention.
