    Open content and sharing is a shift in the way traditional academics have run. This is a cost-effective alternative to textbooks and customizable educational content is becoming increasingly available for free over the Internet. (Just be wary that you do not confuse "free" with "open source" - it is not the same.) Current links from the Horizon Report 2010 on this trend.

    AUSTIN, Texas, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- GetYa Learn On, LLC - an educational software company that created the innovative application called "Statistics I" - today released empirical findings from a pilot study conducted during the Fall semester of 2009 at Abilene Christian University (ACU). Students in an introductory Statistics class were given the new iPhone application which was used to supplement the instructor's lectures and for studying and test preparation. Statistics I is based on a rich Mobile Learning Platform™ that includes lessons, touch-screen simulations, calculators, decision making tools, quizzes, flashcards, formulas, and a glossary. The Statistics I app has been converted into an iPad E-Textbook and is under review for the grand opening of the iPad App Store.

    This is is a very important study from the U.K. and Office of Standards in Education in 2009 entitled "The Safe use of new technologies" showed that where provision for e-safety was outstanding all used 'managed' systems to help pupils to become safe and responsible users of new technologies." This is being cited EVERYWHERE. Take a look.

      This webiste is dedicated to helping students find open course materials.
  • Anyone, anywhere, with an Internet connection — from Bill Gates down — can log on and download these materials without cost.

      Miller S. on 30 Mar 10
       
      Being able to download materials with no costs is the most appealing factor for students. In theory, a student can obtain a degree from a prestigious college by getting their materials online. This also gets rid of the cost of purchasing books.
  • A computer in Logan, Utah, holds syllabus details, lecture notes, problem sets and exams from more than 80 Utah State University courses

  • iTunes U, youtube.com/edu and their own sites, like Open Yale Courses.
    • Miller S.
      Miller S. on 30 Mar 10
       
      These are sites that help universities spread their open content ideas.
  • The OpenCourseWare Consortium, which grew out of the M.I.T. project, now includes over 200 institutions worldwide and offers materials from more than 13,000 courses. OpenCourseWare makes it possible to profit from some of the content that comes with $50,000 annual tuition at an Ivy League school, without paying that hefty price tag.
  • The idea driving the movement is that information should be freely shared.
  • someone must pay for these materials, and with the recession squeezing university budgets, open course programs are vulnerable.
  • For an annual cost of $125,000, or a mere 0.05 percent of the university’s $226 million budget, Utah State’s four-year-old OpenCourseWare program attracted 550,000 page views last year, making it one of the most popular in the United States, according to Marion Jensen, its former director.
  • The OpenCourseWare content is now being hosted on the DigitalCommons@USU Web site
  • how can professors and universities afford to give away the course materials that are their very livelihood?
  • The answer, says James D. Yager, senior associate dean for academic affairs at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, lies in why students pay to attend university in the first place. What OpenCourseWare offers, he notes, is not the full university experience: “We don’t offer the course for free, we offer the content for free,” Mr. Yager said by telephone in February. “Students take courses because they want interaction with faculty, they want interaction with one another. Those things are not available on O.C.W.
  • “O.C.W. is just the publishing of the content

    My ninth graders have completed a module documenting how to do various tasks in OpenSim, the virtual world we use that is hosted by Reactiongrid. This wiki has the links, instructions, and other pages with tutorials on how to do various items. I was assessing this today and thought I'd pass it along as there is some great information to show you how to do things. (If you are a beginning second lifer you may also learn some things.)

    This is an example of how students can create content for the purposes of education.
