This was my contribution to an Apereo panel on where I saw library roles evolving w.r.t education going forward. 2014 06-sakai-library-collab

1. Faculty Perspective
 Learning technology center is moving
 Away from core IT
 Towards Libraries
 Towards tech-oriented schools and departments
 School of Education
 School of Information
 Re-imagine "instructional designer" role
 Accelerate faculty vectors in things like MOOCs
 Replace publisher role so we can retain IP

2. MOOC Effect
 Massive institutional interest in my teaching
 Sharing the brand
 Who owns the user experience
 Involvement of the Marketing Department
 Who / where do I meet my institution around global
branded teaching?

3. Learning Object Repository
 Classic Learning Object Repository – NO!
 Look at publisher processes (repositories)
 Talent heavy
 Careful professional curation
 EPUB3 / E-book as LMS
 New learning technology with 0.1% adoption

4. Open Educational Resources
 Generally a failure
 Unfindable
 Unuseable
 Open Educational Resources Needs
 Education
 Audit
 Curation
 Branding / consistency

5. Open Educational Resources
Roles
