Fostering (lane) OU SCORE
a case study of a successful community/network of practice around open educational practices – The Support Centre for Open resources in Education

The Open University in the United Kingdom (OUUK) was prompted by the MIT initiative to consider what OER meant for its mission and in 2006 launched OpenLearn

MIT Kumar
The strategizing exercise by the MIT Council on Educational Technology (MITCET) set the stage for a series of large-scale educational experiments to promote innovative teaching and learning, as well as for the creation of an educational commons.

An important educational characteristic of these technological innovations is also that they induce important proximities between learners, their peers and instructors as well as the community. The net result is an increased interaction of the learner with the content, context and community.

Infrastructure for sustainability

the Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI), for developing an open architecture to support the portability and sustainability of educational applications and their easily integration into campus infrastructures.

The long-term goals of these infrastructure efforts are to link the MIT community worldwide, and to provide easy access to the full range of MIT’s intellectual life and resources (library materials, research facilities, colloquia, etc.). MIT’s infrastructure will make it easy to communicate, follow coursework and collaborate online.

Open Michigan
The Open Michigan team have developed and released software applications to support the creation and use of open content and open teaching and learning practices.
