Hi Richard Yes the Tapscott & Williams paper encompasses a number of thoughts and ideas for the "OER university" -- now to mainstream this. Thanks for posting this to the list :-).
The Peoples-uni is an exemplar initiative of the power of volunteerism combined with open content licensing. Hopefully we can start scaling institutional buy-in and formal credit for "informal OER learners". Already Otago Polytechnic and USQ are moving down this path, others have expressed keen interest and we are serious about getting this right. We're hosting a strategic planning meeting in Dunedin on 23 Feb 2011. Organisations and individuals who are committed to building sustainable OER ecosystems are welcome to join us. Those who can't attend in person, can watch and collaborate on building these futures. All planning will be done openly in the wiki: http://wikieducator.org/OER_for_Assessment_and_Credit_for_Students Onwards ...
