Stephen Downes

Terry Anderson links to slides (PDF) of his presentation in Maastricht at ICDE. It's a good and topical set of slides, probably containing rather more content than he could have presented in his 20-minute time slot. Slides from the other speakers on OER (Peter Sloep and Andy Lane) are also available. Just an aside: at one point Anderson suggests that it may be that the "student pays" model may be the only sustainable model - which makes me think we should reconsider the use of the term "sustainable" when talking about OERs, as it pushes us toward a cash-centric theory of educational resources (compare with the use of "sustainable development" with respect to the environment).
