I plan to write more later and/or hopefully embed a video of the actual talk and perhaps a transcript. But for now time is pressing and I wanted to make the slides available in advance. So without further ado, here's my contribution to the OTESSA21 Conference, June 2, 2021.

Scale and Scope
Note: A couple of friends have asked why I say "A commons doesn't scale, it scopes". This is a relatively quick note to explain some thinking on why. It's a topic I'm deep into researching now and developing my thinking as it applies to higher education as a commons, so with the caveat that I … Continue reading Scale and Scope
Can We See the Real U? (OER19)
It's been a couple days after the fact, but I wanted to make a post to go with my presentation at OER19. Fortunately, thanks to the nice folks at ALT and the magic of Martin Hawksey, I don't have to try to write a long post explaining what I said and you don't have to … Continue reading Can We See the Real U?

Orality, Literacy, and the Education Commons
Note: This post is my reactions to the assigned readings in the LCC Literacy and Education Faculty Learning Community this week. I've always felt myself a stranger in a strange land academically. I've been intimidated by the thought of academic writing. Writing is so, so central to academia and I've thought or seen myself as … Continue reading Orality, Literacy, and the Education Commons
OER, Higher Ed, and the Commons

This is the first post along those lines and I hope it's not the last. What follows here is a light … Continue reading OER, Higher Ed, and the Commons
Road to a Commons of Our Own: Background
Note this is most of the abstract for today's presentation at OER18 in Bristol, UK entitled "Commons of Our Own". I've embedded the slides for the presentation at the end. Disclaimer: This is the advance abstract written months before I created the slides. We'll see what I actually say today. I'm kind of curious about … Continue reading Road to a Commons of Our Own: Background
OER, CARE, Stewardship, and the Commons
Lisa Petrides, Douglas Levin, and C. Edward Watson recently released the CARE Framework, but apparently some people, David Wiley in particular, don't care for the framework. Stephen Downes has already I think responded in two brief posts here and here. Stephen's posts are brief and I think pretty spot-on. Nonetheless, I'll soldier on and try to … Continue reading OER, CARE, Stewardship, and the Commons
A Personal Note on Ostrom, Open Learning, and Me
As usual, I have way too many balls in the air and way too many ideas happening at once. It's exciting but every silver lining has a touch of grey. (hat tip , Robert Hunter). I continue wearing my multiple hats as part of the school's Open Learn Lab. I still have no title, although … Continue reading A Personal Note on Ostrom, Open Learning, and Me
