What does it mean to me? Collaboration for the win!

I work at the University of Alberta as an eLearning Specialist, and right now my biggest interest is how OER can change the way we teach in a classroom. The majority of our courses have two or three multiple choice exams with a paper thrown in there, but what I would love to see is a cross-curricular, interdepartmental project where students collaborate to create something other institutions could learn from and contribute to as well. So, for me, renewable assignments and collaboration are the most compelling reason to get on board the OER train and ride into the future.
