The NIDL team will once again share over the month of December our 10 top reads (articles) for 2017 selected from a wide range of open access journals in the general areas of Blended, On-line and Digital (BOLD) Education. We are currently reviewing and short-listing a diverse selection of journal articles published since the beginning of the year and will share our final top 10 publications in December (initially via Twitter as we countdown to our No 1 article), which we recommend for educators, researchers and policy-makers with an interest in the area. The full list of our top 10 reads along with brief comments about each article will be published on our blog before the holiday break.
