The iDEA Book is part of the iDesign ​Scholarship Not Swag campaign​. We support educational research and its dissemination through useful open education resources (OER) because we believe it will have a lasting, positive effect on teaching and learning that far outweighs T-shirts, pens, candy, or toys traditionally given away by instructional design and educational technology companies. We hope to be an industry trendsetter in this regard and challenge other organizations to follow suit.
