<- This infographic seems a little simplistic. I don't really agree with the tools lined up. i think some tools are used in various areas and processes. I also don't think that curation is only about visibility, it equally sits in execution and in relationships. It is too simplistic, but I do think that being a curator will be essential to being successful in a connected world. So worth saving anyway. (JS) Via catspyjamasnz

The Xconomy team posed this question to their network [read: an older audience], reaching out to the people they knew “it would resonate well with.” And while we’ll include some of the answers they received, we decided to reach out to our own network and ask the question ourselves, curious as to whether a younger audience — whether they be fresh out of college, going for their MBA, or newly into their thirties, still trying to figure things out — would have something different to say.

A free online community devoted solely to education in the 21st Century. Communicate, Collaborate, Network, Share and Learn. Via Ana Cristina Pratas A Liberal-Arts Consortium Experiments With Course Sharing - Next - The Chronicle of Higher Education
In discussions about the future of higher education, there’s often plenty of hand-wringing over the precarious fate of the hundreds of small, tuition-dependent private colleges scattered throughout the country. With many of them located in out-of-the-way places, their isolation means that merging or even collaborating with other institutions to reduce costs is typically not an option.
But advances in technology can now link together institutions that are separated by thousands of miles. An experiment by a group of 16 liberal-arts colleges and universities in the South might serve as the blueprint for other small institutions looking for ways to maintain a core of academic programs but offer enough variety to attract students.

The article that proposes these active-learning strategies is written for faculty who teach large-enrollment biology courses. But large courses share many similarities, and strategies often work well with a variety of content.

The only way we can understand something new is to create an analogy from something we know. So it makes sense that most of us think of mobile learning as eLearning on a portable device. That description, however, barely scratches the surface. Via CM Elias, Anne Whaits 
The OERu anchor partners have shortlisted 8 university / college courses to be developed as prototypes to be offered in the 2nd half of 2012.
These courses will carry credit towards a Bachelor of General Studies - the inaugural credential selected at the OERu 2011.11 meeting of founding anchor partners. The OERu network will be able to formerly accredit OER learning in Africa, Asia, Oceania and North America.
The OER Foundation uses open source development approaches and we subscribe to radical transparency and open governance. We conduct all business openly. We release early and frequently.
The first drafts of the design blueprints for the prototype have been posted for feedback and improvement. You can help us to provide high quality OER courses to achieve free learning for all students by helping us improve the design and delivery model for these courses. You will find links to the respective blueprints under the announcement section on the prototype portal page and we welcome feedback from the OER community. Please post your feedback on the corresponding "Discussion tab" in the wiki. Via OLnet Team, Andreas Link

Learning, on the other hand, is defined in many ways, but the one I am inclined to use is the one by Cobb (2009), “Learning is the lifelong process of transforming information and experience into knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes.” Via Susan Bainbridge
