Today, I've decided to stop tweaking a few infographics I've been working on and finally share them out (all CC BY). Thread incoming.
Note: I am happy to tweak these over time based on feedback. Please let me know if you spot any typos or have recommendations for edits on these!
The first is a simplified, visual companion to @ARWalz' excellent #OpenAccess and #OpenEd comparison infographic she put out last year, with some influences from my #OpenEd19 presentation on the meaning of "open"
Simple version: docs.google.com/drawings/d/1Tv…
@ARWalz In addition, I made a slightly expanded version of this infographic, with more text about the definitions of #OpenEd and #OpenAccess, including the tried and true Peter Suber definition of OA.

I am newer to the #oer community than many who have chimed in about the #opened19 keynote panel so I hesitated but here goes. I see a parallel to the #balancebias problem in the media, where news organizations are accused of being too liberal so try to compensate with “balanced”
reporting, by covering giving voice to views a small number of people hold that are unsupported in facts and calling that fair. Like covering climate change by quoting established science and then also quoting a climate denier and calling that fair. It’s not -
it’s actually confusing for people who are new to the issue because this #balancebias makes both views appear equally valid when they’re not. And sometimes it turns out the climate denier is funded by oil or coal companies and then the “balanced” coverage is more ridiculous.
