Remix

How « open » are we with content remix? What kind of « mix » of
resources (incl.non-OER) are we open to embrace?

19. • Loosing sight of the big picture? =>How to valorize edu
practice using OER and non-OER without downplaying
the value of licensed materials?
– Does the legal framework of OER inhibit users from taking
bottom-up action? When is best time to introduce it?
• Should we approach OER as work in progress and not
polished content off the shelf?
• Should we reconsider the role of communities in OER
uptake?
• Shouldn’t we we embrace new spaces and modes of
connectivity?
Few ideas to discuss?
