Setting Learning Free

The open source movement is beginning to recognize the open
courseware and open educational resources movements. This
article is pretty much party line (ie., “In the Beginning
was MIT, and They Invented Open Content”) but the more
important thing is that it captures the appeal of open
content and shows the beginnings of awareness that there is
an entire community behind it (and not just a few
well-funded institutions that get Hewlett grants).

OpenCourseWare Consortium Forum

Mentioned today at the conference in Taiwan. John Dehlin
gave me credit and thanked me for spurring this on, which
was a nice gesture. Still in its early stages, but it’s
goot to see a place for people to discuss open courseware
and the consortium.
