Merged outlines


 * I took a stab at merging the original outline with the ToC from the UNESCO document. In the process I moved things around a bit and there are a lot of comments (using Seth's [ ] convention). --Philipp 14:24, 25 January 2008 (CET)


 * Main change is the addition of publish/produce content. The earlier outline proposed a model that relied on accessing other peoples' content first, then remixing/localising it, and republishing. I think helping more people to publish their materials is also important - and might actually be easier to introduce than remixing other peoples' content. --Philipp 14:24, 25 January 2008 (CET)


 * Is it ok to use the term OER/resources rather than content --Philipp 14:24, 25 January 2008 (CET)

 * A short history of OERs [UNESCO 3.1,3.2,3.4]
 * Models and approaches to OER development [I would break this down into lecturer-centered and student-centered to be practical / that's the structure we have used for the publish content section in the UNESCO document, also see below --Philipp 14:24, 25 January 2008 (CET)]
 * Cathedral and the Bazaar models of content
 * Producer - Consumer versus Collaborative peer production (Could be covered under Cathedral and Bazaar?)
 * Roadmap of the book's organization, including:
 * The OER Lifecycle [what is this?]
