Open Learning and the Metauniversity

By Stephen Downes
November 15, 2005

My talk at the Open Source for Education in Europe, organized by the SIGOSSEE and JOIN projects, in conjunction with the Open University of the Netherlands. Here are the PowerPoint Slides. Here is the MP3 Audio. Coverage of the conference by Josie Fraser (one, two), Graham Attwell, Tom Hoffman, Vermario, Brent Simpson, and Stuart Yeates (who found the talk "disappointing" because of "his utopia predicated first and foremost on a radically different method of distributing resources in education" - what else did he expect me to do, disregard the whole theory I've been developing?).

It is very sad that education is seen as business. So many are not able to get the access to the education. Society can reap the siginificant benefits if the idea is fully realized. the fact that already establised knowledge can wipe out the poverty on our planet justifies the claim.

I just had to give you props on my blog (http://learning20.blogspot.com/2005/11/big-picture.html). I really enjoyed reading about (and hearing) how you see the big picture. You call it the "MetaUniversity" but really it's how the market should be, in a higher-ed context or not. On a side note, your website has both copyright and a cc license (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0). Just wondering which parts have all rights reserved, or if it's just a web typo. Keep up the good work, and thanks for exporting your thoughts South of the border. [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]
