Thanks for the heads up Wayne. You know my first thought were to just pass this on to a few email lists, and FB, LI groups. But it occurred to me that they'd never "get" the OERu culture which (let's be honest) revolves around yu.
I've gotta believe that somewhere in your latest uni there lurks an untamed journo or two, who, when listening to their old prof going on about "marketing" is thinking "what a load of crap". They would have read something like this and thought "yep!" http://www.forbes.com/sites/paulmagnone/2013/06/22/4-big-data-trends-that-change-everything/ If they did have a Masters in Marketing, they'd be quite useless. So maybe this is an opportunity to have a team, rather than an individual, begin to pull together a "new age marketing" OER course. It's really hard I know, when one has loyalties to the old ideas of institutions, and the credentials they issue, to believe that the paper is useless. These youngsters want jobs not paper. All i can say is that the OERu have the beginnings of a new (global) uni culture. But the students can see the jobs, and make them, if only given a chance. Just saying, si.
