OTTER Project Sympsium July 8, 2010
Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackbackI attended a very useful online symposium this week that was run by the University of Leicester Otter Project . The symposium agenda was created with input from the attendees and they used Wimba Classroom as a platform which worked well.
This was the agenda
| Welcome and introduction | Samuel Nikoi | |
| 10.00 | Are institutions missing the point by focusing on using OERs as marketing tools? | Mick Norman |
| 11.00 | Engaging institutional partners in OER projects, what works and what doesn’t? | Alejandro Armellini |
| 12.00
|
Lunch break | |
| 13.00 | Is copyright the problem? “All rights reserved” versus “all rights reversed”: whither OER? | Samuel Nikoi |
| 14.00 | Could and should OER replace educators? | Chris Coetzee |
| 15.00pm | Wrap-up and close | Richard Mobbs |
There was some lively discussion mainly in the chat room – particular in the areas of staff engagement, strategic approaches, resourcing, collective approaches copyright and quality issues. I think the format worked particularly well and congratulations to the OTTER project for organising this, if they have recorded the event I will disseminate.
