The IB has introduced the IB Webliography, which collates some of the best online learning resources in one place. It’s a collective effort between the IB and educators around the world, which allows teachers to work collaboratively and provides a platform for sharing ideas and interesting content.

The IB Webliography currently hosts free resources for a selection of IB subjects, which prior to being posted on the site, are reviewed by an IB subject matter expert to ensure the content is strong and in line with the curriculum and pedagogy.

On the site, there is a Primary Years Programme (PYP) section and eight Diploma Programme (DP) subjects are available with Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Career-related Programme (CP) resources coming soon. Each classroom subject is listed separately and under each heading users can choose a resource and click through to a third-party site to access what they want to use. For example, under DP English language and literature A, there are TED talks, short, animated lessons, interviews with well-known authors and podcast lectures. While in the PYP section, there are links to downloadable worksheets, maths apps, videos, interactive exercises, project-based learning ideas, games and more.

As part of this collaboration, the IB is inviting educators to submit their own resource recommendations to be reviewed by the IB Webliography review team. Guidelines for submitting material state that resources must be free and available online and that all URLs should link to a primary resource (instead of a page with a list of resources). Resources should also be connected to a precise syllabus item, instead of the entire subject. For example, instead of listing a YouTube channel, teachers should link to a specific video that they particularly like.
