The category collects learning materials and procedural pages in support of a project on Peer Educational Resources (PERs). This project addresses a host of problems that I've observed arising in various projects devoted to developing Open Educational Resources (OERs).
In connection with this idea, I envisioned a way organizing materials that uses the concepts of Focal Nodes and Peer Nodes.
- Focal nodes serve as hubs for collections of related resources, in particular, activities and articles.
- Peer nodes are roughly parallel pages on different sites that are not necessarily identical in content — especially as they develop in time through interaction with diverse populations — but they should preserve enough information to reproduce each other, more or less, in case of damage or loss.
I'll try to articulate a more detailed rationale on this and other pages later on, but this project is somewhat more experimental than thoroughly worked out ahead of time — as I'll be looking for new ways to break out of developmental ruts that I've observed over the last decade.
