Big Trend: Free online learning & assessment resources

I’ve got the impression that many companies are investing in offering free online learning and assessment resources and tools.

I recently discovered these two:

They can be interesting for learners, looking for self-paced revision and for teachers wishing to make their jobs easier (and spend their time on more meaningful activities)…

What do you think about these two tools?

About me

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg in the field of learning and teaching. My PhD thesis was in cognitive psychology, focusing on implicit learning processes. I have always been interested in the integration of ICT in education, especially the strategic use of technology in teaching. With the advent of the digital revolution, I became interested in exploring the socio-cultural changes in learning caused by the use of digital technologies.

My current research focuses on the subjective theories of learning held by teachers and how these influence their use of ICT in the classroom. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that enable or hinder the use of ICT in teaching, and how these factors can be addressed.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively as a teacher trainer in the field of educational technologies. I have experience with various forms of active pedagogy approaches, including problem-based, project-based, and design-research approaches. My goal is to help teachers integrate technology into their teaching practice in a way that enhances student learning and engagement.
