OSCMS 2007: Open Source Content Management Systems at Yahoo!

8 Apr 2007 By Nate Angell Leave a Comment

Recently returned from the Open Source Content Management Systems (OSCMS 2007) gathering held at the Yahoo! campus in Sunnyvale, CA.

Drupal was strongly represented at OSCMS, but also saw some Joomla, Plone and Alfresco presence.

As often, PHP maven Rasmus Lerdorf was in attendance, in this case, demonstrating the latest in security and performance considerations.

I found great value in the day-long seminar on Drupal/LAMP performance and scalability given by Dries Buytaert (Drupal), James Walker (Bryght), Jeremy Andrews (CivicSpace) and Matt Westgate (Lullabot), with a guest appearance by Robert Douglass (Lullabot). If anyone continues to have doubts about LAMP platform applications scaling to enterprise levels…they should have been in attendance to absorb the variety of solutions from hardware to network to architecture to database to code offered here. After this, I will no longer doubt that LAMP applications can be tailored to meet enterprise demands.

7 Things You Should Know About Open Education: Policies

Administrators who are charged with the development of open education policy may not fully understand the opportunities inherent in OER and OEP, partic-ularly for learners.

The other key area of alignment: with learners.

[7 Things You Should Know About Open Education: Policies](https://hyp.is/H9FccqBMEeioRlfUKXnPUA/library.educause.edu/~/media/files/library/2018/8/eli7159.pdf) While I think this post does a good job of summarizing OEP, I'm disheartened to see the piece shaped so clearly from the perspective that OER is the necessary heart or foundation of OEP. From my POV, OER and open-licensing is a key infrastructural component, but is neither necessary nor sufficient in the larger and more important project to "reconceptualize and improve pedagogy and advance authentic, participatory, engaged learning" that this work rightly champions. Why must OEP always rest so heavily on OER? It's as if we have mistaken tactics for goals.

7 Things You Should Know About Open Education: Policies

They clearly align the open education policy with the university’s mission statement and strategic goals.

Institutional alignment is absolutely critical so the policies can be shaped for the institution and so leadership can provide aligned support.

7 Things You Should Know About Open Education: Practices

Embodying a commitment to learner-driven education, OEP involves students in “active, constructive engagement with [open] content, tools and services in the learning process” in ways designed to help promote learners’ self-management, cre-ativity, and ability to work in teams.

The editorial addition of "[open]" in this quote betrays what seems like an underlying bias in this work: that open educational PRACTICES require and are always based on open educational RESOURCES. Hence the move to changing OEP to "OER-enabled pedagogy" below. I would argue that yes, there is a deep connection between OEP and OER, that OEP benefits from using OER, but that OEP is possible without OER. And unlike, Abruzzi's story, one might just as easily start from an OEP experience and eventually come to use OER as a part of it.
