Brian Lamb, along with others such as Dave Cormier, Alec Couros, and Gardner Campbell discuss the future of open education. The discussion took place on EDUCASE Live! and Lamb has a transcript on his blog. From the transcript (one of Alec Couros’s contributions):
I haven’t yet seen a viable open accreditation model either … the problem is, a number of institutions have to get behind it … and in the short term, it may not be in their best interest as institutions. Thus, it needs to come from outside of the institution.
