ETC students are true global digital citizens (GDC). Not only do they learn for themselves as a “component” global digital citizen, they take leading roles to become active global digital citizens and advocates to support other GDC by developing open educational resources (OER) in PLE and ONLE to support other GDC. In this project, each ETC group creates an OER e-textbook for other educators to learn about the design, development, and practices of PLE and ONLE. Each group take the responsibilities to develop a chapter as part of this e-textbook. Group 7 is the book editors who coordinate the textbook development. The textbook they develop will be used by ETC students in the future semesters to enhance community-community interaction and collaboration. This project is a “product-based learning” approach which we do not just learn and create something for our own learning. We create something to help others to learn as well.
