The Academy invites tenders to conduct an insightful analysis of the literature which focuses on learners’ use of online resources to aid their learning.

Purpose of the study:
to provide a greater understanding of the ways in which learners, whether or not in formal education, use online resources to aid their learning experiences and the factors which influence the selection of resources. 

The resultant synthesis will provide the basis for additional work being commissioned by the HEA and JISC to examine the potential contribution open educational resources can make to the student learning experience.
