OTTER Project Sympsium July 8, 2010

Posted by vickimcgarvey in : Comms , trackback

I 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.
