A collaborative, participatory framework for teaching and learning, where teachers and learners take on the role of active “researchers” in the instruction process, was an important theme that drove discussions, informal talks over coffee, and several of the presentations at the 2007 OpenLearn conference in Milton Keynes, UK.

The presentation of the Free High School Science Texts (FHSST) project likewise created some buzz. The presentation by Cynthia Jimes of ISKME told the story of how FHSST built open content from the bottom up, and grew into a project that has inspired the South African Ministry of Education to consider a more broad-scale initiative to create open textbooks for all grade levels in South Africa.
