Collective Intelligence for OER Sustainability
| Published | September 2010 |
| Conference | UOC, OU, BYU |
ABSTRACT
To thrive, the Open Educational Resource (OER) movement, or a given initiative, must make sense of a complex, changing environment. Since "sustainability" is a desirable systemic capacity that our community should display, we consider a number of principles that sharpen the concept: resilience, sensemaking and complexity. We outline how these motivate the concept of collective intelligence (CI), we give examples of what OER-CI might look like, and we describe the emerging Cohere CI platform we are developing in response to these requirements.| Keywords | collective intelligence · complex systems · resilience · sustainability |
