Collections on OASIS

Any community or initiative can gather their own Special Collection of summaries. For example, a collection could be drawn together for a project, an association, a teacher education or professional development programme, a seminar or module, or a journal special issue etc. Each Collection initially contains at least five summaries and can be dynamic, evolving over time. Each one should focus on a particular theme, chosen by the person or group putting the Collection together. A few examples might include: “language awareness in schools”; “intercultural communication in university settings”; “language across the primary curriculum”; “multilingualism in the workplace”. The Collection owner can edit and grow the collection over time, using it for their own purposes.

Below are two examples of collections already on the OASIS database:
