Discussion Topic
For this discussion we are not going to pose a question, instead we will ask you to respond to the following provocation developed at OER18.
To be honest, OER sometimes feels weirdly colonial. Does it create a power differential because of those who have the ability to creating things and make them available to those who do not have, instead of empowering those who do not have to create for themselves and their own contexts, while also being able to support that work, and those doing it, monetarily?
