As the nature of educational content changes with new technology, however, so does the nature of OER. This paper explores the impact of four major types of technology on our understanding of OER: cloud infrastructure, open data, artificial intelligence, and decentralized networks. It is argued that these technologies result in a model of dynamic and adaptive resources that will be created at the point of need and will draw on constantly changing requirements and data sources. They will be created through distributed community-based processes, and they will support a pedagogy based on supporting student experiences rather than content transmission. As a result, the emphasis on content publication and licensing will decrease, while questions of access and interoperability will move to the fore.}, year = {2019}, month = {07/2019}, publisher = {Stephen Downes: Knowledge, Learning, Community}, country = {Canada}, url = {https://www.downes.ca/cgi-bin/page.cgi?post=69682}, refereed = {yes}, keywords = {artificial intelligence, cloud, content addressable resources for education (CARE), decentralized networks, inteligencia artificial, licencias, licensing, nube, Open Educational Resources (OER), recursos direccionables de contenido para educación (CARE), Recursos educativos abiertos (OER), redes descentralizadas, 开放教育资源(OER),许可,云,人工智能,去中心化网络,教育内容可寻址资源(CARE)}, }
