Open is Powerful for Learning Because…
…Institutions can now reach people that they don’t have the capacity to serve
…Individuals have control over the content -- adapting and perfecting
…Continuous improvement through user and expert feedback and modification
…Act of modifying is an instructive learning process

Re-Mixing
Winston Churchill“If you have knowledge, let others light their candle with it.”
Thomas Jefferson“He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction itself without lessening mine: as he who lights his taper at mine,
receives light without darkening me.”

Movement Will Accelerate

• We all face challenges that require different skills than often taught in schools
• Openly sharing digital content becoming cultural norm

• Use Open Courseware: builds a global library of teaching materials from leading universities worldwide:
• Open archiving (publishing, data bases and data analysis) to support research: books, journals, video.
• Shared courses located on virtual worlds.
• Open web-based laboratories create lab experiences for those without labs
Open Collaboration Enables Meta Universities

Dramatically Increase Access to K-12 and Higher Education
• Reach remote areas without qualified teachers with full blown, complete courses: (multi-media, lecture, cognitive tutor.)
• Reach people out of school or lifelong learners
• Using proctored assessments to give credit for open learning.
