yup we are still moving but not sure that makes
a movement.
Open source , open data , open educational
resources all part of this and folks and even corporations get involved
for very different ideological reasons
I think look for parallels in other forms
of open practice and I think open education and open educational resources
are pretty much thriving
Know why my organisation is interested -
all about opening up access and improving the quality of opportunities
for learning
On a personal note it is about empowering
teachers and learners .
Learning is essentially all about sharing
knowledge and developing skills and competences around this
Have a look at what dishwasher repair men
now share on youtube . They are doing OER but would not know term .

Subject: [Open-education] Is there still an OER movement?
Hi there,
I emailed Marieke suggesting this as an area for debate and she said go
for it so here's a starter.
I'm pretty new to the theory in this area so I've tried to think of some
questions that might spark debate as I'd love to know what people on this
list think.
In reading around this subject I notice the term "OER movement"
a LOT.
It's quite an evocative term. Maybe it's just to me, but it suggests grass
roots action, social movements, maybe not people on the street but... you
get the idea.
Is OER really a movement in the above sense? How do you see it? Is the
movement moving a bit less nowadays? If so, why?
What makes it a movement compared to, say, a favoured funding track of
certain Foundations?
Are members of the movement moving else? If so, where? To other movements?
Is there still really an OER movement now that there's less funding out
there?
yours inquisitively,
Mick
