[Open-education] [GRAYMAIL] Re: How can we get more discussion going on the Open Education list?

Open Education Handbook- we certainly need such a resource. Globally, OER activists find that advocacy for Open-ness in general and OER in particular is still not advanced enough. This is particularly so in developing countries. A resource like an OER handbook would aid those that work in the line of advocacy, especially those dealing with university administrators who generally tend to take a more cautious view of anything open. Their non-involvement limits opportunities for re-use or for generation of OER.

I like your idea too!!! (Fred ... And many others... )

Such a good way to do what we love to do, but together... Being open to significant meetings -what really education and learning is about- in my opinion.

Have a great weekend.

I like this idea a lot. I was also briefly part of a scholarly reading group based on openness that used Google +, but never really got off the ground. The idea there was to propose a research paper and collaboratively read and discuss it via a Google hangout. I think it is a great idea and one I would like to resurrect once I finish with school.

I would love to take part in discussions around the very questions you asked below, but would recommend considering starting off with a more generic “what is openness to you” type question. For me personally, this list at times seems very focused on OER, which is not something I am into. However, creating a dialogue about the nature and application of openness is something I think could lead to many interesting conversations. I would love to discuss where everyone stands on openness and learn more about how we think of it impacting our professional roles.

I also think Fridays are as good a time as any.
