Hi David,

Agreed. I also like to build in a mechanism for action research / learning, so that the stakeholders are observing and reflecting, and incorporating their learning (on many levels) to benefit the project’s success (and themselves, of course!). It’s a key piece of ‘agile (OER) community engagement’.

I’m all for pilot projects as long as they have clear beginning and end, and have a pre-defined plan of action to deal with outcomes – positive (implement, refine, extend) or negative (review, report, nuke).

With regard to what comes after what comes next, how about a pilot project – http://www.wikieducator.org/Pilot_Projects

Great post David,

When you’re so immersed in a project like WE it’s not easy to get objective views about how we are fairing. Your insights are extremely useful, particularly when measured against the calibre of your experience in ICTs for education.

I look forward to reading your insights on agile OER workflow. I have a keen interest in the topic and this is a priority area for OERF and the WikiEducator project.

OER is too important to get wrong — and we’re very receptive to feedback in helping us get this right!
