Via Stephen Downes
Stephen Downes talk at the Educational Computing Organization of Ontario, Richmond Hill, Ontario:
“The internet offers society the opportunity to provide access to a free or affordable education for all. This concept is known as ‘open education‘ and is the subject of various projects, such as ‘Open Education Resources’ (OER) or the Open Courseware Project (OCW). This talk looks at the principle of open education, major projects, and reflects the role played by educational technology, and outlines some of the challenges.”
The best thing now, is to stop writing, explore the slides, click play (audio), listen, learn, reflect, unlearn, reflect again….Enjoy 🙂

The future of higher education and openness?
No clue, except that we can learn:
Yes, most of it will not cost anything except our time. Our time is precious, so if it ain’t of quality, forget it. That applies to any programme or course, too. Yes, increasingly the public will be enlightened, so we better wake up to a new world order of learning beyond any classroom wall 🙂

It is a comprehensive and wonderful index (and list) of free courses, but I would also love to see a customized search feature that enables me to search all the University courses found here. One could easily use Google Custom Search (or any other free search creating engine you can find!) to do the trick.
Finally, one might want to also check out ZaidLearn’s ultimate OER – OCW lists of lists. It is an old and clumsy list, but still quite popular 🙂

It would be great to see a few Malaysian Universities also getting involved with creating and sharing OER. Is it happening? Or am I just dreaming 🙂

He is also the author of the free Quick Notes Learning System books series, creator of textbooksfree.org and President of 21st Century Learning Products.
A learning resource treasure! However, it would be cool if he could also add a search function (Use Google Custom Search), a comments section (forum, ratings, poll, or survey), RSS feeds, and spice the design a bit up. Perhaps a few stimulating visuals, at least a light, easy and juicy banner would be smokey. I suppose if he does, he can add another digit to his yummy 60,000 unique visitors per month 🙂
