Timothy Vollmer has posted an interview with Patrick Andrew, Associate Director (Learning & Teaching) at the Institute of Educational Technology at the Open University. From the interview:
The power of OER lies in its openness; this gives it great flexibility so that material that we might release in the Moodle based OpenLearn environment can be used on WordPress or Slideshare or YouTube or whatever. What we do at the moment certainly is helping people–oftentimes some of the most disadvantaged–learn.
