 OER@UCT blog serves as a reflection and collaboration point for staff involved with Open Educational Resources at the University of Cape Town.

This is an example of where the UCT CMS system has been used in a much more dynamic way. The colours are a bit dull (but probably fitting for Criminology) but we can make it more exciting. Look at the section under highlights - the Summer School blog and other external sites can go there. We can also investigate using 'follow us on Twitter' or having a live COL Twitter feed, with daily updates, depending on the projects that are running at a particular time e.g. Summer School in Jan, Pace in Fed, Third term around the time of winter and summer school, etc. More importantly, PACE, Summer School, etc can have their own navigation bar (where you see 'MERL', 'Physical Security' and so forth on this site) with more info about them than the current overview from Continuing Ed provides and we can also link to this extended info from there.

not bad but I still find it rather dull, I am afraid. Also I don't think I can live the CHED salmon pink colour coding... Someone told me that UCT ICTS is going over to wordpress???????? but Jenny never mentioned anything?

OER Blog The OER@UCT blog serves as a reflection and collaboration point for staff involved with Open Educational Resources at the University of Cape Town. The project is part of a greater movement toward creating open access to information and educational resources. We believe that no one with the desire to learn should be cut off from educational material simply because they do not have the means to study in a traditional fashion. The internet enables access to information and we want to make sure that high quality learning materials are available to those with a thirst for knowledge.

If we want to change www.ems.uct.ac.za to www.summerschool.uct.ac.za we need to do this, if we just change the blog address it says site no longer exists & cannot be found - not what we want at this stage...

A range of seminars on the Open Access Week (24-28 October) programme!

Contribute to UCT Open Content like Kevin has - may also be a nice place to make Summer School podcasts available, like the great Texts/Big Questions series:)

Teaching and Learning conference at UCT Friday 11 November at Grad School of Humanities. 

Wonder how they did this so nicely - I've added direct links on the Summer School ones so people can download mp3s, but it looks a bit ugly - this may be a nice idea for our next podcasts:)

RSVP Caroline.Dean@uct.ac.za I want to go to this - do you?
