Open Learning Network

Thanks to OLnet, I was in Barcelona for the co-located Open Education Conference and Mozilla Drumbeat Festival, which was an interesting mix of people and ideas. OpenEd is an annual international gathering of OER movement sharing primarily around the strategy and practice of "doing OER".

A key part of the OLnet project's mission is to test socio-technical infrastructures that will assist in the development of a Collective Intelligence resource for the OER movement ("OER/CI").

One social/semantic tool that we are developing is Cohere (read article). In the context of OER/CI, here are some draft user scenarios that we are testing...

With the university closed, the OLnet project held their weekly team meeting in FlashMeeting, making for an altogether very pleasant experience ;-)
