Wayne, It certainly was exciting and thanks for your effort, but the continual effort of many persons wordwide, trying new theories not possible just a few years abgo made it great and notable. The way the OERU is being constructed is to use structures that traditional education uses, such as accredidation, aong with the open and sharing theme.
My concern is that the knowledge of it is too limited. For example, I live in the United States, with it's fractionalized educational system, and knowledge of oeru is unknown in many areas. I help to publicize it but hope that in practice and with United States college members, recognition of OERU will gain. Meanwhile, the companies that are getting courses from major universities such as Harvard and Stanford, still don't know what to do with them. OERU, with its thoughtful, planned approach is greatly needed. Thanks, Gene Gene Loeb, Ph.D. On Sun, Nov 3, 2013 at 10:35 AM, Wayne Mackintosh < [email protected]> wrote: > A reason for open educations to celebrate!
