Discussion Notes

Getting on Track with Next-Generation Learning Methods and Systems

  • Current version 1.x syllabus assumes place-based learning;
  • Version 2.x will suit any learning scenario
  • Review OERu  and consider collaboration opportunities (EOR is a consortium and has a foundation)
    • Should contact Wayne Macintosh in New Zealand, founder of OER Foundation
  • Could expand the foundations module to address open methods of governance and of finance
  • Openness Constituent Group at EduCause
  • It's useful that all this is in a free modular and extensible course rather than book
  • Good that the syllabus functions as a combined pointer and repository of content, from which anyone can pull info for a course
  • Nice fit with UNESCO Open and Distance Learning

Communications

  • The syllabus will be moved onto osi.xwiki.com within days
  • Then shared widely to invite others to participate in the WG and in advancing and using the syllabus
  • Need to let people know we are looking for WG participants
  • Need to make it straightforward to contribute to the , and to learn how to contribute
  • Will continue to explore the option of a periodic table interface for the module

EDU-WG Goverance

  • Need to define and governance of the syllabus: the current approach is that there will be both:
    • An open-edited wiki version of the syllabus which is dynamic, on osi.xwiki.com
    • A WG-approved snapshot wiki version of the syllabus on opensource.org that has benefitted from peer-review of modules     ... rather like the software repository vs the compiled build
  • Role of the WG Chair should be explained in relation to the syllabus: basically a "Managing Editor" role that is contingent ultimately upon OSI Board satisfaction with performance. This is not a benevolent dictator role.
  • WG Weekly Conference cCs
    • Audio & text via SIP (Jitsi and Linphone are advanced free/libre/open solutions).  The POTS conferencing line is not a free call from many areas, so ad hoc changes would be needed too often. Skype is widely used but the firm is  free/libre/open.
    • A weekly meeting page will be created on xwiki (like this one) and will be used for live scribing of discussion (alternative for anyone not authenticating can be OpenEtherpad
    • Weekly Conference Call" For day/time, need to pick a time that fits most potential participant.  Using Meeting Planner it seems the following combination might be viable on a chosen day (and conveniently to avoid "which day" confusion, these time are ALL on the SAME day of the week).  So far, preference has been Fridays:
      • London 13:00
      • New York 08:00
      • Vancouver 05:00
      • Brisbane 23:00
      • New Delhi 18:30
