Show me yours - I'll show you mine

I was able to chat with David Porter a bit at Open Education and to get from him a sense of his thinking that goes beyond the "almost past due" commentary he offered earlier in the conferece. That sense is echoed in this post. He writes, "I believe the simplest approach is best. Contribute examples of practice, be prepared to answer questions and critique about them. I think this could be an accessible starting point for many instructors wanting to go in the open direction." He cites David Wiley's open courses, along with those of Alec Copuros and George and myself. I really think what we are doing with these will reshape learning, and consequently, open education and OERs. And I agree with him that the 'course packages' model is a thing of the past, and that community-based sharing will eventually predominate. We will, collectively, meanwhile, continue to develop and extend the model.
See also Bringing systemic shape to open initiatives, a summary of a presentation by Fred Muldar at the Ope4n Education conference. Muldar takes a more institutionally-oriented approach than I am comfortable with, but as he said to me at the conference, they have made the institutional approach work in Holland. and have elicited ministerial level support, so there is a model for success.
