Cheap Models of Open Education

Joshua Kim at InsideHigherEd has a new post contrasting more student-centered, cheaper models of open education with OCW. The article was written as a response to a recent one on open education published by The Chronicle of Higher Education (reported by OEN). From the article:

While admirable and wonderful and brilliant, I’d argue that most institutions should not replicate M.I.T.’s (or Yale’s) model of providing open courses. These online courses do wonderful things for the greater learning community, and are terrific for alumni relations and recruiting prospective students, but we have other models for open learning.

Thanks to Jon Mott for the link.
