An online opportunity for Canadian universities

Another article 'discovering' open online education, this time from "Canada's national newspaper", the Globe and Mail. "What might a pan-Canadian open courses project look like? Instead of following the current model in which each university acts independently, the leading institutions from across the country should build a single national open course portal to which they would contribute entire lecture courses in a range of fields." An idea whose time has come, don't you think? personally, I don't think we're lacking open online initiatives in Canada - the people at Athabasca must be bemused by the comments calling for a "Canadian Open University." What I think we lack are the public-relations initiatives and big-money big-noise campaigns more common south of theorder (or a national press that looks beyond the PR to see what people are actually doing).
