Audio, slides and paper from my talk at the ICL conference in Villach

Ok - here is a question for those of you who are geographically challenged.Where is Villach. Well its in Carinthia of course. And Carinthia is In the eastern corner of Austria - near to Italy and Slovenia.

And Villach is the host to the annual conference on Interactive Computer Aided Learning.

Sandra Schaffert from Salzburg Research invited me to take part in a special session on Open Educational Resources and Practices. There were three other presenters, Victoria Hornung, also from Salzburg Institute who presented the excellent OLCOS project, Marcus Deimann from the FernUniveristat in Hagen, Germany presented a paper on integrating Open Educational Resources and Instructional Design and Marco Kalz from the Open University of the Netherlands gave a presentation on recommender systems for finding Open Resources. And I presented a paper by Raymond Elferink and myself on developing an Architecture of Participation.

We had planned a skype conference call to prepare the session but didn't get our act together. But despite this it worked well. the papers complimented each other. They all had something to say. that is not to say we all agreed. I am extremely dubious of the instructional design approach,. But as George Roberts says, one feature of communities of practice is homogeneous difference. I think that the session reflects the emergence of a community of practice around Open Educational Resources.

Anyway, if you want to find out more, here is a bumper package. The paper (click the link below). The presentation (click on the slide above). And a hastily edited audio of my talk.
