OAE is Permeable

Respecting the relationship between institutional resources and the tools and content outside the institution.

The Permeable Academic Environment

“If there is anything that is important to a liberal education it is the students developing the ability to set and pursue an independent intellectual agenda rather than one that is given to them.”

—Dr. Robert Squillace, New York University

 

 

Sakai OAE

Permeable access to the world of learning and research

  • Collect and curate resources from within and outside Sakai
  • Connect experts within and outside the institution
  • Bring Sakai out to other platforms, and other platforms into Sakai
  • Employ open teaching practices

 

Challenges

  • The administrative framework inhibits life-long learning
  • Systems that center on a course experience create false boundaries
  • Walls between institutional content and the broader academic world are limiting
  • An assumption that learning begins within one system is restrictive

 

Importance

  • We inhabit an academic world that extends beyond the institution
  • Our digital lives start before we arrive on any campus, and last long after
  • Academic content is ever more electronically available
