I was planning on writing up a brief summary of significant developments in the open education space for 2011. It has been a quantum shift year preparing the foundations for the mainstream adoption of OER and OEP in the formal education sector.
I couldn't do a better job than Paul Stacey's "2011 The Year of Open<http://edtechfrontier.com/2011/12/21/2011-the-year-of-open/>" -- Paul, we agree -- it has been a year of open. True to the traditions of reuse in our open world -- I prefer to reuse Paul's well-founded and inclusive summary of open accomplishments for the year. Important reading for the holidays. A few years ago, we would have been hard pressed to find a reasonable list of worthy open exemplars. Today, we are faced with the challenges in deciding what to leave out. That's a nice place to be. Well done open education! Bring on 2012 so we can start providing free learning opportunities for all students worldwide.
