articles · governing the ungovernable ...
16/7/2007 16:06 · 46 votes · 5 comments
The Open Courseware Consortium is a network of (mostly) universities who are committed to publishing and using open courseware, and who have so far released over 4200 university level courses under free and open licenses. Until now MIT has hosted and incubated the consortium, but it’s time to grow up, and we need a structure that can deal with a diversifying membership, sustainability...
articles · open education is like a flock of migratory geese
18/6/2007 03:24 · 29 votes · 1 comment
The open education track would like to draw you esteemed attention to the efforts made by some of us, to visualise the true meaning of open education.
Open education is like a flock of migratory geese that move back and forth between North and South. The flock combines birds from all places. Open education is not something that is confined to just the North or the South. It...

resources · The role of altruism in the digital commons
15/10/2007 21:36 · no comments
Listen to Joi Ito and Philipp Schmidt discuss altruism, the economic man, the difference between happiness and pleasure, carriers of compassion, and that being a happy sharer yourself, is the best way to get others to share as well.
The conversation starts off with an overview of Marcel Mauss' The Gift, and the Dalai Lama's The Art of Happiness, which address the issue of sharing...

Open Access - feasting on knowledge like manna
Hello hello - tuning in straight from the retirement home computer room, Schmatler and Waldhead are back to rear other peoples' ugly heads. Last week (yes, we know what you want to say - but once you get to our age, months can seem like weeks and vice versa) we spent most of our column wallowing with the wailers over the miseries...

Open Access - feasting on knowledge like manna
Yes, yes, we know it's been a while since Schmatler and Waldhead graced these digital pages with our sagely words of wisdom, but after the last series of articles we needed to take some time out to smell the roses and think about what big topics to tackle next.

articles · Sprint ahead for learning
by Judy Breck: goldenswamp.com · commented on 6/8/2007 18:01 · 38 votes · 4 comments

One of the TV spots, called “Sprint flashlight-animation commercial” can be seen here on YouTube, where today it has four stars from 108 ratings. I have seen the spot several times this month while watching TV, and it drives me crazy because of...
articles · A Good Day For Openness in South Africa
by Rebecca Kahn, iCommons reporter · commented on 2/8/2007 17:23 · 35 votes · 1 comment
Very quietly, and without much fanfare, the South African Bureau of Standards has aligned itself with open standards, rather than with proprietary software as the norm among South Africans.
Paul Jacobson and Andrew Rens were there when it all went down, and spoke to Rebecca Kahn.
