"The big issue or challenge is the embedding of non-free content on a site that is dedicated to OER". No. The big issue is to ensure that non-CC REFERENCES don't disappear. Answer = Point to a cache. E.g. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:rWg_dWuA1IQJ:www.onlinemba.com/blog/history-of-the-internet/+onelinemba+internet+history&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=firefox-a&source=www.google.com
It's a problem that one may think they are "embedding" non-free content on an OER site. They're not of course. they're just linking to a reference. Nice site Michael. Yo might want to put the first first infomatic after the 1990's though. Wouldn't want to contribute the conflation of "the web" and "the internet". There are few things which are quite wrong or misleading. E.g. "...in 1991 Tim Berners-Lee of CERN released the hypertext system, which allowed links to be made from page to page, and images to be included in pages". ".....the NSF set up a service called InterNIC, which registered all addresses on the Internet so that data could be routed to the right system". It's quite hard when we have the (OER) information people thinking about "the internet" as some cohesive thing, and the communications engineers who don't look at what content is used for. Both "leave the grey (non-free content) areas to those more qualified to deal with this". You might want to include the OER. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet Not much use talking about something's history until one has some idea of what something is. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
