That’s a great question, Mark. Certainly, the ability for adjuncts to teach online learning courses for geographically distant universities is a step in the direction of the freelance academic. But I’m not sure that your idea of the vigilante academic quite works yet from professional or economic perspectives (yet), in large part because universities are not prepared to recognize and accredit (either for students or for teacher) such work.

I have had several conversations with a fellow adjunct professor on what he calls “vigilante academia” as a way for those of us who find it difficult or impossible to enter the profession on a full-time basis, but desperately desire to maintain a teaching practice. This would be sort of a DIY approach to pedagogy using many different instruments like webloging, social networking, podcasting, etc.
Any discussion being made about this as a possible motivating factor in the development of OERs? And if so, how would this model actually work in such a way that someone could actually have a career as a vigilante academic?
Thank you ( i love this resource!),

You probably couldn’t write a complete (or even partial) history of open educational resources on the internet without mentioning Project Gutenberg.

And there was a whole flowering of open educational resources posted in the early days of the web. And even more on the old FTP and Gopher sites. That’s what inspired my own Guide to the Logical Fallacies, from 1995 ( a version still extant at http://www.fallacies.ca/ ).

Most of that has been lost to obscurity, none of the authors having the cachet of MIT’s PR department. But that’s where open educational resources really came from. We lose sight of that today, in an era where (to read the documents David provides) only large institutions do OERs.
