Locating Open Educational Resources (OER) as a phenomenon of cyberculture, this paper
presents a reflection on the possibilities of co-authorship that are entailed in OER
initiatives of different natures and settings within a large organisation. A selection
of OER-related projects and activities carried out at the Open University of United
Kingdom (UKOU) are examined from the perspective of a comparative framework proposed
by Okada (2010). The framework identifies key features and differences between ‘Closed’
and ‘Open’ Education, that is, respectively, formal education, which takes place within
the constraints of institutional Virtual Learning Environments, and informal education,
which is gradually taking place more widely in cyberspace. The paper is introduced
with a succinct discussion of the connection between cyberculture and the emergence
of OER, followed by a presentation of the comparative framework adopted. The UKOU´s
structure and methods are then presented, and various projects are discussed. The
article concludes by proposing a brief commentary on the creative potential that is
being unleashed at the very boundaries between formal and informal educational spaces
that cyberculture is challenging. |
