I always find that good minds underestimate themselves. I'm not sorry to say that you do too. Mind you, considering your work pace, you've gotta say "enough" sometiimes.
You've got your feet planted firmly on the ground; with the head not (yet) in the "clouds". And thank God for that. Just give it time. The penny will drop. As you've pointed out, the aim is to "provide easy ways to integrate OERu learning resource (at one domain I would think) which we can deliver to any LMS from WikiEducator" (which is the domain you're going to integrate at, I would think). You can host the domain anywhere. If you do it at an IP address which is accessible via a federation's memberships institutional account, you have your network. Probably saved yourself a lot of hosting and bandwidth charges as well. We can't stop the slow evolution of the new network model. i.e. sharing apps on an open network; any more than the OERu members want to share their content (at the moment) on separate ones. One is a federation of (access to) shared content, the other a federation of (access to) shared applications=services. The network federation guys have done their thing, so far as their little (National/ANZ) perspectives are concerned. And they are floundering because most content communities expect them to look outside their National domains and say, "we're a global community." (look at out get togethers!) >From my perspective you are one of the leaders in the art of "open governance", which is quite an imaginative art. If you'd like to see what one of your peers in the .gov.au space is doing, it's here. http://digiculture.wikispaces.com/ You can see the commonality in approaches (on a national basis, not global like your own). So let's not rush at this. As I track down others peers in different countries, the commonality in the tools they prefer to use becomes more apparent. You know how de Bono's "ah ha" effect works. The logic of a new model is perfectly obvious once all the pieces are understood. BTW. Most community's same the same thing. "Bring your partners to the table. We don't have the resources". Most of the time that's only because they don't understand how networks work and what is possible. e.g. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/SC1111/S00035/internet2-and-ipv6-provide-new-opportunities-for-music.htm But hey! We're all learning. (in the art of open governance) me especially. All the best. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
