Ed/ITLib Digital Library → Future of Open Courseware; A Case Study

My paper at Ed-Media 2008. Abstract; In 2007, Delft University of Technology started Delft OCW (Open Courseware), a project with the objective of publishing educational resources online. This paper focuses on the future of this project, and describes the results of the research on its sustainability. The advice includes (i) the development of a more decentralized environment for Open Educational Resources (OER), (ii) the involvement of other OER projects, educational institutes, private organizations, and end-users, (iii) the management and support of this environment through tools and protocols, and (iv) deploying various business and revenue models to address the full potential of the project.

Social Networks And Group Formation - Boxes and Arrows: The design behind the design

  • Granovetter (1973) argued that within a social network, weak ties are more powerful than strong ties. He explained that this was because information was far more likely to be “diffused” through weaker ties. He concluded that weak ties are “indispensable to individuals’ opportunities and to their incorporation into communities while strong ties breed local cohesion.”

  • While we realize that trust ultimately would be subjective, it would be a much better system if a peer did not rely solely on individual knowledge and judgments and also utilized knowledge gathered by the ‘society’ in which it exists.



    The essence of this argument is that there has got to be a mechanism using which peers can determine in advance whether a particular peer can be trusted or not and whether that peer indeed deserves to be added or treated as a friend or for that matter dropped as a foe.

  • The critical issue regarding a trust mechanism in a decentralized environment is that of integrity. How can it be known that particular bits of reputation information haven’t been manipulated by self serving malicious peers? The research challenge is to design an algorithm which can best aproximate trust levels.

  • One first prerequisite for forming such a "Semantic Web" or "web of trust" among the players active in quality management of health information is that these initiatives make statements about themselves and about each other in a machine-processable language. I present a concrete model on how this collaboration could look, and provide some recommendations on what the role of the World Health Organization (WHO) and other policy makers in this framework could be.
