Hello everyone My name is Sarah Stewart and I work for the Educational Development Centre at Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin New Zealand. This year we are working to make our Graduate Certificate of Tertiary Learning and Teaching fully open access. We already have a couple of courses that we deliver via Wikieducator: Facilitating Online (FO2011) ( http://wikieducator.org/Facilitating_Online) and Flexible Learning ( http://wikieducator.org/Flexible_Learning_Guidebook). In the next wee while we plan to have the whole program in Wikieducator.
We have developed a funding model which we are going to pilot with the FO2011 which starts next week: http://facilitatingonlinecommunities.blogspot.com/2011/02/fees-for-facilitating-online-2011.htmlAt the same time I am getting my head around the issues of OER, funding models and sustainability. I am particularly interested in hearing from any educators who currently teach in open access courses, who work with a model of "conversion" ie working with students who are initially informal students who then enrol as formal students. I have written a blog post that is articulating some of the issues I would like to clarify - I would really appreciate your feedback: http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2011/03/trying-to-work-out-research-question.html thank you, Sarah -- Sarah Stewart EdD Student and Consultant http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com Skype: sarah.m.stewart Twitter: SarahStewart Second Life: Petal Stransky +64 27 7379998 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
