OK, perhaps I should reword it to say "are you open enough for OLDaily?" Which isn't really, fair, because I do report on some closed stuff. But I don't link to stuff you can't get to without a subscription, and I admit a definite bias for free and open learning. With that in mind, Brian Lamb's quiz is a pretty good guide to inclusion in OLDaily:
* Is your stuff readily available online, indexed by search engines?
* Do you make your stuff openly licensed, specifying terms of re-use? (Most commonly through Creative Commons?) If someone reuses your stuff with attribution, you're not going to be a jerk about it, right?
* If someone wants to reuse your stuff, is it in a format that can be revised or remixed? Or at least embedded or directly linked?
* Do you think developments in new media and the internet fundamentally challenge notions of accessibility, engagement and the practices of teaching and learning?
If you're hitting these points, and you're writing (or coding, or orchestrating) something that's new, fresh, innovative, and creative (and it's more or less in the field of online learning, new media, or cat photos) you're a pretty good candidate for inclusion in OLDaily.
