Information and communication technologies have enabled the desegregation of the three core components (or clusters) in teaching and learning in higher education : content (access to and apprenticeship to disciplinary knowledge, content creation) ;interaction (between peers, between students and academic experts through pedagogy, feedback and engagement) ; and accreditation (summative evaluation and certification).   Not only are these now all digitally mediated, they are also increasingly open in various permutations, through for example open content and MOOCs (massive open online courses which provide free access to whole courses for anyone with online access). This session will describe current trends and focus on the questions and implications for UCT with its twin imperatives of global prestige and benchmarking, and local development and redress imperatives

Session 3 will focus on: An introduction to open copyright, Creative Commons licences, and searching for open "safe" content online.

"The 2010 Global Education Conference will be held November 15 - 19, 2010, online and free. Sessions will be held in multiple time zones and multiple languages over the five days. The conference is a collaborative and world-wide community effort to significantly increase opportunities for globally-connecting education activities and initiatives. There is no formal registration required for the conference, as all the sessions will be open and public, broadcast live using the Elluminate platform, and available in recorded formats afterwards. Links to watch the sessions will be posted a few days before the conference begins, in the "Sessions" and "Schedule" pages, and recording links will be listed soon thereafter. "

I have tried to use Elluminate and somehow I cannot get it up and running. Do you download the free download? I am going to try again.
