OER to me is a project I need to get busy on so I don't have time for making a video, illustration... but I deemed it the "rabbit hole of choice" for the summer, when I have a fair amount of 'down time' in my job providing academic support to developmental level students at our community college.
OER to me is a great potential for getting people learning who don’t have access right now — and even people who need specific, complicated things for whatever reason. (Yes, it’s complicated.) It’s fragmented — this course is very much in the context of postsecondary instructors, with a world view. (Hey, it spared me doing the preliminary survey, right?) A recent article in edutopia is very much … ignorant of that whole community, speaking to OER’s disorganized repositories for K-12, and for postsecondary… the assorted profit-making perspectives. There’s so much more than that!
I dream that the OER community can be more than The Latest Innovation that gets morphed and strangled by The Way Things Are.
