Hi Everyone, An interview posted by Education-Portal.com with Professor Jim Taylor from the University of Southern Queensland <http://wikieducator.org/USQ> about open education and the OER university <http://wikieducator.org/OERU>.
Prof Taylor says: "*We see higher education sustainability and affordability as dependent on finding a new model. The potential for the existing infrastructure to meet the growing demand for higher education is a major issue - there are several studies that demonstrate that's just not possible on a global level. So the OER University acknowledges that most universities have community service as part of their mission and supports this by giving students access to credit through open educational resources." *The full interview is available here<http://education-portal.com/articles/Open_Education_Around_the_World_Education-Portalcom_Speaks_with_the_University_of_Southern_Queensland.html>.
