Abstract

Hundreds of higher education institution around the planet have taken the lead of MIT and now offer their course materials online for free. It is time to reflect on how we can effectively unlock and use this treasure check of Open Education Resources (OER). What kind of mindset do you need to truly leverage their power? How do you localize OER to different culture contexts? Along with that, how can edutainment be part of such open education? What can the gaming and entertainment industries do to add spice to the OER movement? Lucifer Chu will explain all that and point us to the future marriage of these two fields.
