Hi Barbara, Connexions is an impressive project in the OER field. They are one of but a few international OER projects that use a content license (CC-BY) which meets the requirements of the free cultural works definition. As such I'm very keen to explore collaborations with Connexions, particularly in the area of re-mixing content between our respective projects.
There are minor differences in the process and design approaches used by our respective projects. WikiEducator is founded on the wiki-model of peer collaboration whereas Connexions' processes are more akin to the "producer-consumer" model of OER content development. Both approaches have their respective advantages and disadvantages. Consequently I would be very keen to explore how our respective technologies could work with each other in building a sustainable OER ecosystem. Based on your experiences --- do you have any thoughts on how we might progress this?
