Lightweight and low threshold
There has been a lot of activity recently in the OER area – the community is really engaging around the issues for the 14/08 JISC call. In addition, the Scott Leslie, SCOPE 3 week online seminar on OER has been interesting to dip into - http://scope.bccampus.ca/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=2661
Lorna’s JISC Cetis blog, http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/lmc/ has been a real source of practical information again. Interesting to see the discussion on 3/2 about the lightweight metadata mandate for the OER Call. One of the core pillars for the EdSpace Project at Southampton has been that of developing a lightweight, low threshold level for adding content.
Interestingly, Lorna’s later posting on 3/2 raises the question of the relationship between blogging and micro-blogging – linking between these 2 social networking activities, and indeed the ethics of linking. What exciting times!
