Resum

This paper advocates for a greater integration between Higher Education and Professional and Scientific Associations (PSAs). With the development and adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), the costs associated with the collection, storage, processing, and transmission of information have been reduced. Eventually, the supply of information has soared. However, more does not necessarily imply better. Free online resources can enhance the learning process, but the lack of quality controls is still a major concern. Additionally, learning demands some degree of organisation and structure. We argue that Higher Education can potentially benefit from a closer relationship with PSAs. In doing so, we introduce the Spanish Association of Economic History efforts to organise and prepare high-quality teaching resources. Our brief discussion could provide a route-map for other PSAs.
