Thread:Some thoughts (2)

Hi Simon,

Yip I agree -- much room for improvement on graphic depicting the logical framework. I think that we need to start brainstorming what the ecosystem might look like visually.

The graphic contained in the funding proposal was developed within the focus of the funding proposal to Hewlett -- and is not a logical framework for the OER ecosystem as such -- I'm personally not a great fan of the industrial approach -- but for the purposes of a funding grant, we need to be very specific about our inputs, and measurable outputs. Sure -- this doesn't begin to capture the real energy and potential of self organising systems.

I've started playing with a "theory of action" as part of the strategic planning process for the OER Foundation for the next 3 years. The graphic is also an oversimplification --- but with each iteration -- we're improving our understanding of what the broader eco-system might look.

mmm still lots of work to do. Do you want to have a bash at drafting a concept visualisatio.n of an "OER ecosystem" -- this will help us tremendously in in getting our strategy right.

Cheers Wayne
