  • Some can lecture, some think they can lecture and other are just terrible at it.
  • However, we should not pretend that is is optimal even when it works.
  • If there is an idea inside the expert's head of how something works, programming or probability say, then there are graphics, usually animated graphics, that can present the core of the idea better than simply talking about it ever could. The problem is that it can be difficult to get right and this makes it expensive. You can transfer the abstract understandings inside an experts head much more effectively using interactive simulations of the fundamental mechanisms than by using only words. Once transferred, the words that surround it help make the whole thing clear and asking a few questions that are difficult if you don't understand and easy if you do provides the diagnostic.

  • As programmers, our challenge is to create the tools for the job. Interestingly the tools are the same ones we already use to create games. They only require to be augmented with some smart diagnostics.

    Mike James urges programmers to adapt gaming techniques to allow the regular-Joe academic expert to include a simulation quickly and easily into a learning experience (instead of videotaping them as they present it via words or pre-produced visuals)

    Professor Jim Taylor, from the University of Southern Queensland, points out that the OER university will create a parallel learning universe to augment and add value to traditional models of delivery through open collaboration networks. "This is not theoretical speculation, it is entirely viable." said Jim Taylor. In this keynote address, Jim: Refers to the "gales of creative destruction" associated with technological change where old industry can be swept away and replaced by new ones. However, the OER university concept provides opportunities for "creative construction" for universities in a digital age. Demonstrates that conventional supply of education using traditional delivery methods will not the meet the demands for access to higher education. Consider, for example: the need for 18 million new teachers the doubling of post-secondary students in the next decade the need to build roughly one new university per week in India alone to meet the future demand for learning. Points out that we already have a critical mass of open access materials, but we don't have open curriculum, open student support, open assessment and open accreditation. Indicates that the OER university concept will provide a stairway to credible credentials based soley on OER.
