David Wiley's vision of open educational resources (OER) and mine continue to diverge. That's not a bad thing; it makes sense to explore different approaches. Just so, Wiley takes a production-oriented approach to OER: "When OER and learning analytics are used together, it becomes possible to engage in continuous improvement – empirically identifying weaknesses in OER, making improvements to those OER that need to be improved, and starting the cycle again." In support of this idea, he recently announced something called the RISE framework to find "which OER (out of thousands) are most in need of improvement." And in this post he announces a new open source R package that implements this framework.
