I'm a bit surprised by this one Wayne, Why would you want to join a site which is empty when WE has something the UN doesn't have; Community
If the platform were more than a very amateur basic, I give Abel and crew a little pat on the back but ...... Can i make a suggestion. WE can have a better plaform today, for nothing, and WE can integrate this list with it. I'll just point you at the overview.http://www.google.com/sites/help/ intl/en/overview.html Why don't you suggest to Abel that there's no need to reinvent the wheel, and we could use some help. OERGlue is a nice marketing device to .edu institutions, but it won't help the UN or WE understand what the structure & economics of an OER global institution will be, other than being around global communities. One of the things which we are starting to work on in the NRENs (mainly surfnet) is a federated access, so the WE's of the world can sign in with their institutional credentials. That's going to lead to institutions sharing the stuff in clouds. Maria might call it "behavourial economics". (I've never met a millionaire with an economics degree) The National network managers could use a "live" Global community to work on. Surfnet's already federated access to their National institutions for Google and MS apps. They also have the right culture to take it global. So let's see about opening the door. The last thing they need is talk about another OS platform. People with drive and imagination are far more important. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
