This presentation will describe a model for individuals and organizations, to not only understand and assess openness within organizations, but also connect authentically and productively in open communities.

This presentation will describe a model for individuals and organizations, to not only understand and assess openness within organizations, but also connect authentically and productively in open communities. What is the point? ● Open methods are now seen as a viable and feasible means for resource development. ● We don't need anymore open initiatives. ● The lessons learned from OSS communities provide an excellent model for other organizations supporting OER. ● Agile principles promote practices for engaging authentically in open communities.

It goes against the grain of current material values. But it really is consistent with what I believe is the best about MIT. It is innovative. It expresses our belief in the way education can be advanced portability – by constantly widening access to information and by inspiring others to participate.” Choice Creativity across a continuum of Sustainability persistence non-exclusive commercial rights Code what counts...borrow or buy the rest Freedom of use: to run the program, for any purpose. Freedom of inquiry: to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs. Access to the source code is a precondition for this. Freedom to share: to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor. Freedom to contribute: to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. Access to the source code is a precondition for this P o o l e d i n t e l l e c t u a l p r o p e r t y MIT's Open Courseware counters the privatization of knowledge and champions the movement Scholarship as a methodology Coordinated effort toward greater openness Liberation Technology open and Encourage derivative works extensible architecture Modular & pre-integrated Flexibility Standards-based model We hope you will escape to the free world. The free world is the new continent in cyberspace that we have built so we can live here in freedom. It's impossible to live in freedom in the old world of cyberspace, where every program has its feudal lord that bullies and mistreats the users. So, to live in freedom we have to build a new continent. Because this is a virtual continent, it has room for everyone... So everyone is welcome in the free world, come to the free world, live with us in freedom. The free software movement aims for the liberation of cyberspace and everyone in it.

Open Content: In 1998, shortly after the summit where the phrase “open source” was coined, I began to feel that the same methodology should be applied to educational materials. That summer I made up the phrase “open content” and began trying to promote the idea. - David Wiley, October 9, 2011 http://change11.info/index.php/David_Wiley Guess what! We've won!!!
