Just at quick one. This is a link to an email discussion at terena - the trans european research and education network. http://www.terena.org/mail-archives/refeds/msg01110.html
These are the techs whose peers provide your institution's network in your country. They are talking about 'federating services' between countries. This is the equivalent of Wayne's 'learning to share' globally but in the perspective of the National Research and Education Network technicians. So they will be collaborating rather than duplicating 'resources', which in turn will change/open the technical culture of OER institutions. The same arguments for OER (above) apply to technical people as much as content people. The financial benefits (to an institution and it's communities) are as great. The only difference, because WE are in a globalizing world, is that content OERers can't collaborate at their best without the assistance of the technical OERers. So please, at the conference, include a chat about the communications tools which you would prefer in order to be inclusive of other global OERers, and maybe share with OCWC and other OE projects. After OER need open source, open standards & open access as well. http://www.surf.nl/en/OverSURF/Pages/SURFenOpen.aspx -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
