Links from the talk Open education around the world
I gave a presentation at OISE Education Commons today, together with Professor Jim Slotta, entitled “Open education around the world”. I was very grateful to be invited by Education Commons to give one of their talk, since they only feature one or two each semester. I was also very lucky to be working together with Jim, because our pre-talk meetings really helped me focus and sharpen my thinking around OER.
As usual, I will try to share this talk as widely as possible. The slides are available on SlideShare (and can be downloaded from there), a video of the talk synchronized with the slides has been put up, and there will even be a podcast, thanks to some people at the Toronto iSchool. I will update this post as more material becomes available.
This post is mainly to share a number of resources that I went through in my talk, so that people who watched it in person, or online, and found something in particular interesting, can go and check out that resource.
