Media Coverage

To start things off with a bang, here's a link to Cable Green's excellent interview with Kim Hill from 14 October, organised by @elizabethheritage: http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/saturday/audio/201774098/cable-green-open-education-and-sharing

We also had a piece in last month's Library Life (the LIANZA magazine) about CC & GLAM.

Awesome. The decoupling of location and pedagogy must mean an opportunity for somewhere to become the campus of the globe, Edu-tourism.

Interestingly, @hamishmacewabn, that's one of the critiques of (read-only) MooCs - that there's a colonial dynamic in how they operate - i.e. the 'centre' exporting education to the globe. But that's why we need the resources themselves to be (read/write) open: so they can be localised and adapted and improved (and translated) for the specific needs of local students.

Given the number of 'centre's striving to export their wares, and the low cost of entry into the market, it seems unlikely that one place or world view would necessarily dominate.

Most of the options I'm aware of originate in the US, but there's no exclusivity that they possess in the production of MooCs.

I have written an article about CC in Kiwi schools for the PPTA Newsletter, and an article about CC and Open GLAM for art history teachers for the December issue of the NZAHTA Journal. I will publish both of these on NZCommons after they come out.

We've got an article in the latest issue of the Ed Gazette, plus a series of articles this year in the School Trustees Assn magazine.
