    An interesting case about plagiarism and how an open ed advocate tackled the problem using Twitter. Eventually the company in question stopped, but no apology was made.

  • 16. Ministers stressed that ICT was vital to increasing access at all levels, hence improving the efficiency of the education system, but that technology should be driven by educational needs. They noted that while there was a plethora of initiatives for the development of Open Education Resources (OER), such as scientific publications, eBooks and journals, there was a need to set up a common platform for OER materials for harmonisation and ease of access. They further highlighted the need for a common framework for all open universities of the Commonwealth, especially those in small states. Quality assurance mechanisms should be strengthened to make them more relevant to the needs of stakeholders.

    I agree with most of this. Change doesn't need to be massive, just a shift in favour of short, high-quality 're-purposeable' objects, to stay at the forefront of the new wave.

    Great article, thanks for sharing. I also agree with most of this. Having participated in a MOOC, I don't think this form of learning will takeover. I think there are a couple of very good quotes here that we should include in our white paper e.g., "A reputation for innovative teaching will be invaluable in the fight for domestic and international student dollars." and "Incentives at all our universities are based on research output, so academics have little incentive to embrace educational reform. The universities that succeed in transforming education will not be those that work on a top down approach. That cannot work. Rather, it is the universities that develop the incentives and motivation for "bottom up" academic-led reform who will be tomorrow's leaders in tertiary education."
