The Challenge…The Journey

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”–An African Proverb.

Quite interesting how you can spend years of your life in a field and find yourself learning things each day. When you work as a group, you begin to acquire different skills that enable you to perceive knowledge you worked with previously, in a new way. The ideas and concepts that were covered here: finding OERs, modifying them, licensing  them, searching licensed images, licensing original works, providing openness to students, helping them annotate, and delving into the world of open courses, were merely bricks that pave the path to higher quality education. Yes, giving students the ability to create and curate works is indeed an impactful form of learning. The best learning happens when you are actively involved, or when the content makes you suddenly understand something you hadn’t perceived before.

The journey of an educator is never complete, even after their physical existence ends in this world. The works we leave behind, our footprints, the paths we pave, the tools we leave behind, are all part of the journey we are on.

Thank you for these profound activities.
