Hi Jan
You have reminded us of the range of learners to be helped. Expanding
mobile phones capabilities bypass many of the problems that you
describe and we are seeing amazing progress there.
We can be working to immediately benefit learners in less challenging
situations. There is an enormous o

Wayne, Eliza and others,
Here is what we are doing on WikiEducator to facilitate the process of
introducing educators to the use of technology one step at a time:

Everyone is invited to join.

Hi Valerie,
With thanks to dedicated WikiEducators like yourself (and hundreds of
others) -- WE, as a community, is now in a position to scale up our original
vision of developing digital OERs in support of all national curricula.
One advantage of open self organising systems is the ability to so
Hi Wayne & Kirby,
Please keep us informed of the developments here - this could be a great
leadership statement, and a challenge to other CS departments 'round the
world to follow...

Hi Kirby,
Wow -- CS unplugged is very smart!!!
Any possibility of getting the course materials released under a license

Thanks Wayne
Many of us would like to work on exactly this sort of project.
What do we know about the content needs for this? Can we layout a
foundation so we can collaborate on content creation and assembly, in
parallel with resolving distribution issues? Is there some subject and
grade level t
Hi Kirby,
You make a good point about the potential abundance of access to digital
content. However, in reality I think we are a long way off from a world
where we have access to digital content PLUS the permissions to adapt,
modify and redistribute without restriction. Herein lies the differentia
Hi Eliza,
That's a good point. Self-organising, peer production communities are very
different from the traditional model, hence the fear of organisations to try
it out.
Administrators and decision-makers who don't have experience of the
effectiveness and agility of self-organising systems find i
My impression is there's a huge amount of free content if (a) you have
access to the Internet and (b) you have enough education to know how
to read and study the materials, find your peer groups, organize a
learning experience resulting in credentials and opportunities.
Both (a) and (b) cannot be
I am pretty sure when Bob Dylan said 'mountain', he didnt only refer
to copyrighted material, he used it for all 'licensed' material be it
creative commons or FSF licenses. Freedom is freedom, it doesn't come
with CC-BY-SA. I would be interested to see how long that mountain

Hi, there is one point to be added to the list;it`s to protect the victims (
teachers or educators) from the bad guys stiil conjacted to the old ways and

security and they think there is not a better way. They should be enc
This is really impressive, Wayne. WikiEducator has grown into the most
active open source online platform there is globally and it has been a
privilege to have been part of this growing community and project from
the get go. It has been an exciting journey to this point and I am
looking forward to
