Action Collabs and Rapid Fire Presentations at Big Ideas Fest 2011

It is almost six o’clock on Tuesday and I am sitting in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay at the Big Ideas Fest 2011. At the core of this unique conference is a product development process called an Action Collab. Think Startup Weekend with a focus on big ideas in education, and add colored construction paper and pipe cleaners.

The Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education (ISKME) is the organizer of the Big Ideas Fest. They are the people behind the OER Commons, and have emerged as a thought leader and organizational facilitator in open source educational resources. I am a big fan.
