ETBS.2009-02-26
Joined by the founders of ETT, as JL calls in "because no one else will argue with Dave" regarding his OER post. We also talk about @NancyWhite 's onlinevisualjams
Talk with Dave Cormier about a blog post of his: OERs Shining Light: new textbook model or harbinger of a new imperialism and the comments it generated. Jeff Lebow joins us (@ the 36:00 minute mark), "because no one else will disagree with Dave" and the brainstorm ensues.
NOTE: Would love to revisit the topic with Dave and Jeff, and whomever else would like to weigh in, on a future show.
We also talk about an episode of onlinevisualjams hosted by Nancy White, from the previous afternoon: Audio / Visuals
Tunes: Remix Culture Addict, Wadidyusay?

21:21:40 dougsymington -> hi Kapil, welcome
21:22:18 kapil -> hi everyone
21:22:56 PeggyG -> anytime you say "best way" you'll find a difference of opinion :-)
21:23:16 injenuity -> I would really like to see a poll of the people promoting remixing OER to see how many of them do it
21:23:35 kapil -> are we talking about OER ?
21:24:04 tjtech -> Thank you Doug! :D
21:24:24 PeggyG -> That's what we started talking about kapil -- kind of a free flowing conversation about many things related to OER
21:25:52 kapil -> i did a small project , just remixed science videos from youtube and other video sharing websites jeetv.kapilbhatia.com , it has 300 science videos , fortunately not many schools in india know any thing about blocking youtube
21:27:19 PeggyG -> @kapil you share some fantastic resources and are doing wonderful things!! thanks for the link!
21:29:38 PeggyG -> welcome back Miguel! hope you have some audio now. You should Skype in :-)
21:29:43 Lorna -> @kapil that is excellent work
21:29:55 MGuhlin.org -> @PeggyG yes, have audio...zap mamma almost threw me off!
21:30:12 MGuhlin.org -> Breaks are great!
21:30:19 PeggyG -> hooray! success!
21:30:31 JL -> I nominate Dave to be in charge of musical interludes for ETW
21:30:45 MGuhlin.org -> cute kids!
21:30:50 tjtech -> very sweet
21:30:55 MGuhlin.org -> no way! I'm a text freak!
21:31:02 PeggyG -> what an adorable picture!!
21:31:35 kapil -> http://learn.creativecommons.org/ - its a great resource for OER
21:31:53 injenuity -> I have a 2 year old poking me in the eye, so I should probably go
21:32:08 injenuity -> thanks for letting me backchannel
21:32:26 dougsymington -> thank you
21:32:41 PeggyG -> impressed with how easily you slipped in that music to the stream!
21:33:36 dougsymington -> ty
21:33:43 dougsymington -> @Peggy
21:34:44 PeggyG -> I'm having a hard time shifting my paradigm from the open education philosophy of the 60's and 70's to OER and internet.
21:35:16 kapil -> i read somewhere that around 300 universities around the world are thinking about doing something on the lines of MIT OCW http://ocwfinder.com/
21:35:59 kapil -> not sure about the number
21:36:17 PeggyG -> :-) Jeff
21:37:10 kapil -> great point
21:37:22 MGuhlin.org -> The Internet is the system, unfettered and unmoderated. Should we make everyone filter out what isn't relevant?
21:37:24 guest478 -> http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/oer.aspx
21:37:49 guest478 -> @miguel but is anyone really able to filter for everyone?
21:37:52 MGuhlin.org -> Why should you force others to drink from the firehose? Bringing order to chaos is human
21:38:49 MGuhlin.org -> @guest478 sure...gimme the beef...do I really want students to wade through the rest?
21:38:55 MGuhlin.org -> How's that for oppositional? ;->
21:39:05 PeggyG -> good job Miguel!
21:39:44 MGuhlin.org -> Internet=chaos, AcademicER=Order, OER=Chaos/Order Blend
21:41:28 MGuhlin.org -> Rhizomatic - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizome_(Philosophy)
21:43:07 MGuhlin.org -> Higher level = charter schooling content on the web. The rest make do with OER. OER is better because it's accessible by the masses and updated more? is this wisdom of crowds?
21:44:03 PeggyG -> really intrigued by your thoughts Miguel! sure wish you could join the skype call
21:45:19 MGuhlin.org -> @PeggyG I think better writing than I do speaking. Sorry. Anyways, just playing with ideas...I'm not putting forward a point of view that i understand deeply.
21:45:49 MGuhlin.org -> who is "me?"
21:45:56 MGuhlin.org -> I'm late.
21:46:04 PeggyG -> but I think I understand you--lot of deep thoughts going on here
21:46:22 dougsymington -> http://davecormier.com/edblog/2009/02/22/oers-shining-light-new-textbook...
21:46:49 PeggyG -> do you think it isn't sustainable because it doesn't generate funding?
21:47:03 MGuhlin.org -> Dave Cormier! Duh!
21:47:26 kapil -> i once approached MIT for distributing MIT content in DVDs in India as most people dont have good enough bandwidth for watching videos online
21:48:10 kapil -> i got permission for 1000 copies but its very expensive to replicate DVDs
21:49:25 guest478 -> http://www.myoops.org/en/
21:49:38 PeggyG -> LOL!!
21:51:09 Lorna -> want their money's worth
21:51:50 PeggyG -> Just saw the Cormier citation on the Rhizome (philosopahy wikipedia entry :-)
21:52:17 guest478 -> http://wearemedia.org
21:53:03 PeggyG -> I had a hard time finding the students who wanted to be in control of their own learning in my univrsity :-(
21:53:20 dougsymington -> hard after all that spoon-feeding
21:53:31 Lorna -> link not working on my computer
21:53:45 PeggyG -> didn't work for me either
21:54:00 MGuhlin.org -> http://www.wearemedia.org
21:54:24 kapil -> i see a huge value in OER for developing countries as long as it is not top down
21:55:02 PeggyG -> how could OER be top down?
21:55:41 MGuhlin.org -> how could i setup edtechtalk live on a district moodle?
21:55:51 Lorna -> blush
21:55:53 MGuhlin.org -> you know, learning conversations available 24/7
21:56:07 Lorna -> cheer
21:56:08 kapil -> for me , ETT is attending university and doing one of the best master degree course in edtech
21:56:40 Lorna -> I agree kapil
21:56:52 PeggyG -> Lorna and her team are awesome facilitators!! I always marvel at how they manage their conversations on their show!
21:57:29 MGuhlin.org -> ustream is blocked...no, I want to share EdTechTalk discussions with a schedule and people click to listen
21:57:45 PeggyG -> it is for me too kapil!
21:57:54 Lorna -> there is a calendar
21:58:15 Lorna -> awe ds wants to be on Pasp
21:58:19 Lorna -> any time
21:58:34 Lorna -> we are doing a speakers corner on MOnday night
21:58:48 PeggyG -> probably the best way to share the discussions is via recordings
21:58:49 kapil -> it usually starts at 7 am here in india, ETT is making me disciplined :-)
21:58:53 Lorna -> everyone is welcoe me to join
21:58:54 MGuhlin.org -> yep...RSS. I'll do that.

21:59:53 kapil -> i want to summarize ETT episodes in 100 words through a wiki for quick reference
21:59:58 Lorna -> man I learned way too much tonight
22:00:12 PeggyG -> saw someone's Netvibe's page of feeds for all of his Nings--it was a great model
22:00:26 kapil -> let me see how we can take that forward
22:00:47 PeggyG -> thanks for the stimulating conversation!
22:01:53 dougsymington -> thank you Peggy and all
