OAE is Remixable

Creating a flexible palette to interact with content, tools, and media.

The Remixable Academic Environment

“Consider the skill of 'writing' a paper. We wanted to bring into that process—which we know to be about critical thinking, analysis, synthesis—the visual material they were seeing, incorporate that with text, and turn that in, or to turn it outward to share it more broadly.”

—Dr. Lucy Appert, New York University

 

 

Sakai OAE

Remixable content and connections on an open canvas

  • Author your own learning experiences
  • Create pages from a blank canvas or from tailor pre-made templates
  • Store, re-use, revise, and share your work
  • Create mash-ups of functionality, content, connections, and media

 

 

Challenges

  • Systems and tools have tried to anticipate and structure content interactions too strictly
  • Content interaction models should emerge from successes of practitioners—not imposed by software design

 

Importance

  • The freeing of content—for revisions from others, remixing, and sharing—unleashes creativity
  • Content remix is the foundation of original contribution and peer review
  • Rating and review mechanisms allow meritorious work to surface and grow
