Talk:Open Education Practices: A User Guide for Organisations/Responses

Questions with which to focus the responses
The main focus is to ask the CEO, TM of EDC, and OER Foundation to reflect on the recommendations for what an institution can take from this book. What things stand out to them for their considerations for managing their organisation. What concerns or reservations might they have?


 * 1) Why do you think more than 80% of tertiary educators never use social media in their work?
 * 2) Referring to the section Measuring Open Education where it is shown to cost $4 000 to train a teacher how to use social media for open education and research, and that it returns over $9 000 in savings and benefits to the organisation, does this motivate you to invest in staff professional development? Why? Do you think it would make a difference to the statistic mentioned in question one?
 * 3) Based on the recommendations made in Incentives and Rewards - what do you think an institution could feasibly do to encourage the use of social media for open education and research?
 * 4) What do you think of the idea to use marketing budgets being more laterally spent, such as helping teachers producing open educational media and publishing it through social media channels? Would this help progress open education? Would it help promote the Institution? Would it deliver better educational services to teachers and their students?
 * 5) What new models of education strike you as having the least or most potential in the context of your institution? Why?
