Cooperation and Collaboration with OER #Change11 « markusmind. The recently raised question concerning cooperation and collaboration in settings of change such as the MOOC #change11 is surely an important issue.
Here is an interesting blog post with a related discussion. I have been involved in a large EU project where we attempt to build a model for team-based development in Higher Education to promote use and resuse of OER. We have analysed different forms of groups and networks, including more loosely structured forms such as the Humanities Network with its new international Course Exchange project. Their work mode can be perceived as somewhat of a connectivist approach, i.e. without clear goals or shared agreements of the partners that should cooperate. On the other side, we have investigated the Mediterranean Network of Universities which is based on clearly defined structure.
