On 9 November 2009, Greg Grossmeier made a presentation to the U-M School of Public Health faculty. The presentation provided an overview of the Open.Michigan initiative and describe the benefits of publishing learning materials as Open Educational Resources (OER) for faculty and researchers. Topics covered included: Disseminating educational materials to educators, physicians, clinicians, students, and self-learners throughout the world, free of charge. Enabling global access to health science education materials: lectures, labs, and other course curricula. Improving health education and health care delivery within the University, the State of Michigan, and worldwide.

Union Square Ventures, the New York City venture capital firm best known for backing high-profile Web 2.0 startups such as San Francisco's microblogging service Twitter Inc., is paying a lot of attention to education these days. The firm's three partners -- Fred Wilson, Brad Burnham and Albert Wenger -- sat down with The Deal for a Behind the Money roundtable interview to discuss the firm's interest in education; what's wrong with the current system; how Web 2.0 technology may be able to fix it; and what opportunities lie ahead for startups.

In our latest podcast I talk with Stephen Downes of the Canadian National Research Council (NRC). Stephen is perhaps best known for his work compiling the OLDaily newsletter, and for his wide-ranging views on the role of online learning. We discuss OLDaily, before turning to explore Stephen’s current research interests in such diverse areas as the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) and ‘connectivism.’ During the conversation, we refer to the following resources; Athabasca University Connectivism and Connective Knowledge course National Research Council of Canada George Siemens University of Alberta University of Manitoba This conversation was conducted on Wednesday 28 January 2009.

In the first of a special series of podcasts with authors from Educause’s recent book, The Tower and the Cloud, today I spoke with Professor Andy Lane of the Open University. Andy’s paper, ‘Who Puts the Education into Open Educational Content?,’ is freely available in HTML or PDF, as well as in print when you buy the book. Andy is Director of OpenLearn at the Open University, and during our conversation we explore the aims and outcomes of that project before turning to a wider consideration of the Open Educational Resources movement and its parallels with the older and narrower concept of the ‘Learning Object.’ During the conversation, we refer to the following resources; Arab Open University BBC Carnegie Mellon University Clayton Christensen, Michael B. Horn and Curtis W. Johnson’s Disrupting Class, and my podcast with Horn and Johnson Creative Commons Educause Hewlett Foundation Higher Education Academy (HEA) Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), and their Open Educational Resources funding Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) Jorum MIT MIT OpenCourseWare Moodle OpenCourseWare Consortium, and my podcast with Consortium President Steve Carson OpenLearn Project Open University Malcolm Read SocialLearn Project, and my podcast with Project Director Martin Weller The Tower and the Cloud Wikiversity This conversation was conducted on Monday 19 January 2009.
