OER university model
Having watched this: Webinar on the OER university model, I feel things are moving and the WMUK strategy does not really recognise this. I would suggest:
- A discussion about signing the Cape Town Open Education Declaration which I hope everyone agrees helps fulfill WMUk Objectives as expressed in teh constitution
- Develop a closer relationwhip with Wikieducator, who have taken the lead with the OER University. I think it worth noting that James Taylor's approach does not involve challenging the existing dominant University business model, but rather moving around it.
- "Existing delivery models cannot address the growing global demand for post-secondary education. Many countries do not have the resources to build the number of conventional universities that would be required to meet the future demand for tertiary education. The OERu is nurturing the development of a sustainable and scalable OER ecosystem for the formal sector. The OER university project aims to create a parallel learning universe based solely on OER for learners excluded from the system to augment and add value to the formal education sector. These learners may choose to enrol at formal education institutions in the traditional way or participate in free learning provided through the OERu network."[1]
