Interesting post. If you have a look ...Hi Allison,<br />Interesting post. If you have a look at the OSI's (Open Source Initiative's) site, who are the custodian if you like of what Open Source means, they list 10 requirements which must be satisfied as part of the Open Source Definition. Requirements 5 and 6 are particularly relevant here:<br /><br />5. No discrimination against persons or groups.<br />6. No discrimination against fields of endeavour.<br /><br />See http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd<br /><br />Blocking Sourceforge contravenes both of these. So if you store your open source solution on sourceforge you are kind of failing both these obligations. Anyway, I think there are lot of examples much closer to home where as you indicate, we in parts of Australian education, have not evolved with the times and just don't get the benefits of openness while we are stuck in outdated views and business models.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JerryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698349284869092643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164631800743679925.post-8448577898530880312010-02-24T17:02:40.868-08:002010-02-24T17:02:40.868-08:00Thanks Janshs

I figured this time I'd jump in. I'm curious what you think of the SelfDesign initiative based on Brent Cameron's work in B.C. over the past 25 years, and now embodied in a global offering SelfDesignGlobal<BR/>http://www.selfdesign.com/<BR/>They call their people learning consultants who provide fee-based one-on-one guidance along the learner's self-directed path. It seems many approaches like this claim a denser component of individual attention, whether they are straight traditional coursework via LMS or this more learner-centered design. Almost all of the higher education related sites I have visited from CCK08 prompts are still mostly concerned with teacher/faculty roles, seemingly unwilling to let go of their niche, while giving lip service to the centrality of the learner in the new world of tools and access. It kind of reminds me of every conference I have ever attended: designed to be as relentless and uncomfortable and talking head focused as they could possibly be, with no actual practice of all the educational changes implied by their own research and or personal preferences as learners. What is up with that? So if teachers started thinking about how they would like to learn, as digital natives with all these cool tools, would their conclusions take a different form I wonder?SidMorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121546916552867484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164631800743679925.post-81969141552619053272008-10-26T14:05:00.000-07:002008-10-26T14:05:00.000-07:00Thanks SarahI'd love the opportunity to work on a ...Thanks Sarah<BR/><BR/>I'd love the opportunity to work on a project to design some learning around web 2.0 principles, but feel I'd need a lot of guidance and mentoring - hoping this is not an 'oxi-moron' :).<BR/><BR/>I've just managed to catch up on your CCK08 posting last night - and enjoyed the question about how do individuals with limited access to the 'net ie prisoner, engage in connective learning - perhaps the connections need to be through 'cached' web pages and internal 'social networking sites' set up by the organisation.theother66 (formally MadMiller)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02677589224153912756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8164631800743679925.post-91294784464538840792008-10-26T13:59:00.000-07:002008-10-26T13:59:00.000-07:00Just a quick note to say I have enjoyed your summa...Just a quick note to say I have enjoyed your summary.
