Another 1/4-baked idea – OER "virtual reference librarian"
This is another totally off-the-cuff not-well-thought-through idea (one wonders if I have any other kind!) but I do trust that smart folks out there will promptly tell me if it’s a terrible one, which is why I’m tossing it out here before I actually spend any more effort on it. I want to put to [...]
Sharing, not just planning to share – Crowdsourcing OER Search for Africa
http://twitter.com/findanoerafrica/ I am hoping that Dave Cormier will write this up fully, as it was his idea for which he deserves full credit, but the eleganceand simplicity of it, coupled with the real need it hopes to serve, compelled me to post something right away in hopes of helping it get going. As I understand [...]
August in Vancouver? Hmmm… Open Education 2009 Call for Papers
http://openedconference.org/call-for-papers I know you have all been waiting with bated breath, well the wait is finally over – the Call for Papers for the 6th annual Open Education Conference (held for the past 5 years in Logan, Utah but this year moving to beautiful Vancouver BC, Canada) is now open. I am pretty stoked about [...]
3 week SCoPE Seminar on OER
http://scope.bccampus.ca/mod/forum/view.php?id=1222 (I swore I said I wasn’t doing any talks until June, when I head back to Utah for my first trip to the TTIX conference, but somehow I’ve managed to get 3 into my schedule in the next 4 weeks. Aye carumba!) Luckily, the first, this three week seminar on Open Educational Resources for [...]
Translating "Networked student" – dotSUB, OER Localization and Language Learning Opportunities
http://dotsub.com/view/41f08de7-68dc-4365-af4c-5733f565b9e1 As part of my talks last week on “Becoming a Network Learner” I used the incredibly timely video from Wendy Drexler, “The Networked Student,” as a bridge to tease out some of the characteristics of network learning. Wendy’s video borrows the “Common Craft” style and is both a thorough AND fun explanation of what [...]
BCcampus OER site – Free Learning
http://freelearning.bccampus.ca/ If you read ed tech blogs, especially the ones I read, then conversations about “open content” and “open education” feel like they have been going on forever. Indeed, at the Open Education conference this year, we celebrated 10 years of Open Education, so it’s been at least that long. But my experience travelling around [...]
Notes and Thoughts from Open Education 2008
http://edtechpost.wikispaces.com/Open+Education+2008 Got back late on Friday night after spending most of last week in sunny Logan, Utah at the 2008 Open Education Conference. My notes are here for anyone who might care. As usual, the conference program itself was FAR outstripped by the hallway conversations and afterhour sessions, especially the chance to not just finally [...]
Dynamic Wiki-driven OER Search Engine
http://edtechpost.wikispaces.com/OER+Dynamic+Search+Engine So Stephen pointed to a Google Coop engine that Tony Hirst built out of the OER pointers on ZaidLearn’s OER collection page. That’s cool, I’m a google coop/constrained search nut, and knowing Tony, he likely finagled some sweet way of automatically getting the links into the Coop engine. But…why not drive the Coop engine [...]
Making the case for "Fully Open" Content
I’ve asked twitterites a few times but haven’t got much of a reply yet, so I’m hoping readers have a reference or two to throw my way. Here’s the question – I work on a project that helps share educational resources. We currently support two licenses, a Creative Commons license and a regional consortia license [...]
