Lots of stories and comments appearing this week about Open and user-generated educational content, so will gather some here in the best Remix fashion...
The OU is using YouTube to promote OpenLearn, emphasising the 'extra value' reuse possibilities as well as access to free educational resources.
OECD release a study called Participative Web: User-Created Content looking at the impact and challenges of 'UCC' and likely new business models
IWR reports JISC developing 'agile systems' to try and harness the potential of new online environments for mainstream education. The plan is aparently to 'take risks on behalf of the community' - recognising the problems institutions have connecting with learners in their informal environments.
The Online Education Database has produced an annotated list of tools and resources that promote participation in collaborative educational content creation and publication. Its an odd list, covering things like licensing models (but not Creative Commons), software, organisations, OpenCourseWare projects and repositories - some of which are 'Open' only if you make them so - but useful to see the range of activity.
