  • Governments around the world began to realize that it was cheaper to invest in “clicks instead of bricks.”
  • Although the delegates were united in their enthusiasm for the future of online learning, there were sharp divisions around issues like the future of teaching, copyright, private education providers and the importance of credentials and university credits in motivating and rewarding students.
  • But we can do some things better than a traditional university. We can adapt faster.”
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The role of open resources in enabling universities to adapt was the message of Steve Carson from M.I.T.
  • Traditionally, universities performed three functions, he said: “providing content to students, learning activities, and assessment and certification.” The Internet’s ability to provide more and better content faster and more cheaply meant these functions “have become disaggregated,” Mr. Carson said. But he suggested they may be about to come back together in a different form.

    Pres of Wesleyan on signing Berlin Declaration. "Now that Wesleyan has declared its support for open access to scholarship, what do we do next? One step that has been taken by the faculties of Harvard, MIT, Bucknell, Oberlin College and others is to pass a formal resolution to publish in open access journals, or journals that permit open access to articles via an institutional repository. Because of the complex issues surrounding academic publishing as well as promotion and tenure practices, these resolutions were preceded by thorough on-campus discussions of the issues and how they might be addressed to the satisfaction of faculty members at all stages in their careers. The week of Oct. 24-30 is Open Access Week, a perfect time to begin this conversation at Wesleyan. "

    Excellent overview of open science, open access, etc. "I've never had an idea that couldn't be improved by sharing it with as many people as possible -- and I don't think anyone else has, either. That's why I have become interested in the various "Open" movements making increasing inroads into the practice of modern science. Here I will try to give a brief introduction to Open Access to research literature; in the second instalment I will look at ways in which the same concept of "openness" is being extended to encompass data as well as publications, and beyond that, what a fully Open practice of science might look like."
