"These open meetings provide professional development opportunities which at the same time contribute to future success of the model."
Yup! They also help to make clear how the open infrastructure is going to save institutions a heap of pennies. Nice thing is we don't have to look to hard as to how these shared services will work. https://abt.onlinecollaborative.ca/explore/how-does-it-work.jsp Institutions can share the same space & tools & content. https://abt.onlinecollaborative.ca/explore/participating-institutions.jsp The question then is how do (let's call them) the OERu AMIGOS choose the preferred tools so we can support a few million students/teachers globally. I look at my wish list and it looks a little like an open version of this platform. http://www.polycom.com/products/uc_infrastructure/realpresence_platform/index.html Look, rather than talking about a range of technical "what ifs", let me just copy and paste the latest email from terena's taskforce for media. Their members are, I hope, the yin to the OERu's yang. I'll also note this blog entry as it points out why institutions need the NREN mousetrap builders. http://billstarnaud.blogspot.com/2011/09/r-networks-once-again-revolutionizing.html We already know why they need the OERu AMIGOS. They actually collaborate, with any available technology.
