- Open Source Curriculum informs our college’s discussion about the role of course content, Distance Learning, and even instruction.
- Steve is using open source curriculum in all of his sessions this term
- Question of efficiency? Question of accuracy and professionalism?
- Looked at MIT OpenCourseWare

- What are the implications for instructional design? for instrution? for education?
- are we knowledge brokers?
- are we content creators?
- are we guides? counselors? designers?

- open-source has obviated what has been true for a while now
- necessitates pre-assessment, student-oriented design, and clear communication and respect
- The K-12 system is creating more self-directed learners, and there is an increasing competition among educational institutions
- Creative Commons — open-source copyright system
- This boils down, it seems to me, to negotiation — we need to discuss, keep in touch, vet, filter, and think critically and creatively!
- Clay Sherky — Here Comes Everybody
