This is from Cable Green's blog:

Universities in Australia, Canada and New Zealand are hoping to achieve "a quantum shift" in higher education access by launching an "OER university". (article)

Concept is: http://wikieducator.org/OER_University

There is an open meeting (all are invited) on Feb 22: Noon – 8:00pm (pacific). If you can’t make it to New Zealand … join the meeting as a virtual participant… I’ll be attending from Olympia, WA ;)
