Hi everyone, If you're planning to join the #OCL4ED online workshop, we recommend that you register today - or you won't be able to keep up. See:
http://wikieducator.org/Open_content_licensing_for_educators/About (We will do our best to secure funding support for future offerings of the course.) Thought I would share my selection of digital consciousness from the Open Content Licensing for Educators (#OCL4ED) stream over the last 24 hours. Note, this entirely a subjective selection. The Identi.ca posts are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license -- and as an OER course, this is why we use identi.ca. It gives us the permissions to reuse, adapt and modify the posts for re-use in messages like this :-). *onlinei <http://identi.ca/onlinei> (Australia)* - "OER could stop the madness of competing educational institutions and improve the quality of learning" - "I cannot adhere to the belief that education is a commodity. Ideas are generated by many and improved on by more." *ulisp <http://identi.ca/ulisp> (Germany) * - "Openness is crucial for the human condition of being [both socially and culturally]" *lenandlar <http://identi.ca/lenandlar> (Guyana) * - "When does an idea remain just an idea and when is it someone else's work?" *margieg <http://identi.ca/margieg> (Australia) * "Taking something someone else has created and improving it shouldn't be regarded as theft." *lyndawilliams <http://identi.ca/lyndawilliams> (Canada)* * * - "Can we liberate credentials along with material?" *carinabossu <http://identi.ca/carinabossu> (Brazil / Australia) * - "I believe OERs have the potential to bridge the gap between informal and formal education!" *ifrank <http://identi.ca/ifrank>* earns *course kudos award* for the most thoughtful questions today imho :-) - "If there were no textbook publishers, would there still be any knowledge?" - "If there were no music industry would there still be music?" - "If there were no best selling novels, would there still be literature?" Inspiring! Join the conversion. Cheers Wayne * Note to Twitter users* If you want your tweets to be aggregated to the #OCL4ED course feed, you must post these via your identi.ca account.
