Hi Thanks Vinod, <blush> -- Congratulations and thanks should go to Jim Tittsler - -our Lead Software Engineer who works tirelessly behind the scenes to make this OER magic happen.
I wouldn't say the technology of <iframes> is revolutionary (The <iframe> tag has been around for a long time.). However, the approach of sharing knowledge freely using open content licenses among multiple sites without password access is revolutionary. This will will change the way we learn and teach around the world. A change for the better! 2011 will be a quantum shift year for OER --- we plan to lay the foundations for the "OER University". Learning should be free for all students of the world and this is what the "OER University" aims to achieve. In parallel we will work with forward looking universities, colleges and polytechnics who will provide pathways for informal OER learners to gain formal academic credit. That's revolutionary! See: http://wikieducator.org/OER_for_Assessment_and_Credit_for_Students/About We will develop the plans for the OER University in an open and transparent way. All WikiEducators are most welcome to join us in building these exciting futures. We are hosting a strategic planning meeting on 23 February 2011, here in Dunedin, New Zealand. I've just received an email confirmation that UNESCO that they will provide sponsorship support to stream the meeting virtually. BIG thanks to UNESCO for enabling global participation in this important venture. More news next week about the OER University concept. Watch this space ....
