I’m at an incredible meeting co-sponsored by Shuttleworth, Hewlett, and OSI looking at possibly producing a declaration on open education. For the first session in the morning, participants listed all the open education projects we are working on. You can see the cards we posted on the windows, or the list of projects as we transcribed it into the wiki. We then broke into small groups and analyzed the data from the cards. My group decided to treat each card as if it were a webpage we were tagging in delicious. You can see the resulting collection of tags as a tag cloud, a pie chart, and a bar chart. These data visualizations are an interesting commentary on where the open education movement is spending its efforts. We then gathered back together and reported the work of our small groups.
