Talk:Open education

message: Per an exercise via a P2PU course, looking at ways to improve this page. For sure we see that the point of this page has already been established. If there are others watching this page, would love feedback or notes you have. Tvol (talk) 02:42, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, full disclosure: I'm also in that P2PU course. So, my thoughts are that the topic of this page should be on the concept of "open education" (as opposed to "closed education") and the movement that is references. How I see it, Open education is the overarching category that OpenCourseWare, Open educational resources, Open textbooks, etc fall under. I think that makes sense, semantically, and thus, that is how people most often use the terms. Thus, the goal for this article could be to provide a general overview of the open education field, its history, how the various pieces relate, and, of course, sections about those other pieces that link to them. Does this proposal make sense? I know the motto is "don't ask to do, ask for forgiveness" but I thought I'd put the plan out there. (Another full disclosure: I work in the Open Education world at Creative Commons.) Greg G (talk) 23:12, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Input on reworking this page 

message: Hello:
I am new to editing wikipedia, but I have been studying open education for a while now.  I really want to make this wiki entry all it can be, but it seems to have been inactive for a while and i didn't want to step on any toes.  
Is there anyone out there that is interested in reworking this page with me?  Is there opposition to someone simply editing the page? Fredwbaker (talk) 00:22, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Fred, what excellent timing! We are currently launching a project, WP:Communicate OER, specifically to help stimulate discussion & action on improving articles like this. Please add your name to the "Team" tab listed on that page, and then check out the "Do" tab. We will be most active next week, during the Open Education conference in Vancouver. Hope to be working together soon! -Pete (talk) 22:56, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the link!  I am excited about getting this article in shape.  Look forward to working with you all. Fredwbaker (talk) 00:41, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Open a new dialogue about open education page 

message: Hi -- as discussed above, I'm leading an effort related to this article, WP:Communicate OER. I see that a number of new Wikipedia contributors have worked on this article in the last couple of weeks; is this perhaps a class assignment? It's great to see focused attention on this article; we would love to work with you! Please feel free to contact me directly, or just use this talk page. I guess the main question is -- do you plan to keep improving the article, or is your project is complete. Also, of course feel free to sign up for our project: WP:Communicate OER Team. -Pete (talk) 17:18, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  A class working on this article?

thread_title:  Misc. (poorly formatted) external links redacted from Reflist Section 

message: Today, students in my Writing Wikipedia Articles class started a new article, outline of open education, to help address some of the perennial issues under discussion on this talk page. Hopefully this will be a useful place to explore the connections among various related topics. I think we are open to considering whether it might ultimately work better as a navigation box, or as a page in a WikiProject; but we were eager to get started somewhere, on collecting and organizing the ideas! Please give us a hand, or let us know if you think the "outline" format is the wrong way to go. -Pete (talk) 16:44, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  New [[outline of open education]] 

message: This topic has been raised on the WikiProject Open talk, the WikiProject Education talk, and Open learning talk pages. As a step toward clarifying the connection between the two terms, I added Open learning as the main article under Open education's Learning philosophies section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Litjade (talk • contribs) 13:23, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  How to deal with Open learning and Open education 

message: There are a number of concerns regarding the implementation of open education systems, specifically for use in developing countries. These include a potential lack of administrative oversight and quality assurance systems for educators/materials in some programs, infrastructure limitations in developing countries, a lack of equal access to technologies required for students' full participation in online education initiatives, and questions regarding the use of copyrighted materials.
