I wasn’t really trying to be a “BC booster,” although I love this province. I just got caught up in what was a confluence of synergies – clear day, perfect flight path, window seat and my iPhone in my pocket. I had to wonder how many times in life you get this fortunate doing your job.

However, I think the diagram describes more than an IP clearance process. Embedded within it are processes called: creation, quality control and technical. I know I have heard you speak (lament) on the quality control (or lack thereof) item at various stages of OER development processes.

These are macro process categories, that while not described in any detail, announce that there are multiple steps in the OER creation and reuse process that also need to be further described and/or built-out in a more convivial manner.

For me, this diagram represents a high-level view that could form the basis for a more detailed “how-to,” or form the basis of a workshop series that explored all of the *actual* behaviours and practices you note. It might then begin to frame the optimal processes in a *useful and usable* set of resources that could attract more instructors to both create and reuse in whatever manner seemed most efficacious *to them.*

We definitely need to plan for the inclusion of mobile and laptop technologies as a new way of approaching the classroom dynamic. Better to use it as a positive part of the experience, rather than fighting the exclusion battle.
