Education ecologies
Fragment of a discussion from Talk:Dimensions of openness in education/Introduction to open education/Raw content
I like Barron's on learning ecologies: "the accessed set of contexts, comprised of configurations of activities, material resources and rela- tionships, found in co-located physical or virtual spaces that provide opportunities for learning." It is not an OER focus, but its similar to the Atkins et. al. OLPI (open participatory learning infrastructure) which is based on OER: "The proposed OPLI seeks to enable a decentralized learning environment that: (1) permits distributed participatory learning; (2) provides incentives for participation (provisioning of open resources, creating specific learning environments, evaluation) at all levels; and (3) encourages cross-boundary and cross cultural learning.".
