In fact, those posts and a variety of others have said essentially the same thing. It’s doubtful that you would find anyone commenting on either the

I'm so tired of having to teach in spaces that are designed for knowledge transmission, rather than construction. It's a huge, uphill battle.

In fact, you could argue that for people who have access to decent libraries (I guess in the West at least anybody near a major city) have all the content they could ever dream of, but what is needed is the process of learning - and there could be lot's of different models - some people want one-on-one, others want to read the same materials and discuss it as a cohort, others want evaluation and feedback, etc. What we are trying to do with the peer2peeruniversity.org is exactly this - to raise kind of a "learning process" on top of all the OER that already exists. Our model is by far not the only valid one, but we hope it will be an interesting example. D’Arcy, I totally agree.
