Still More Conference Coverage

with one comment

here is the really super awesome, most succinctest and concretest result of the conference:

Students for Free Culture’s Open University

Also known as “The Wheeler Declaration”

  1. Open Access
    • The research a University produces is open access
  2. OpenCourseWare
    • The course materials are open educational resources
  3. Free Software
    • The University favors free software and open formats (wording)
  4. Patents
    • University patents are used for the public interest
      • Software
      • Medicine
  5. Internet
    • The University embraces the open nature of the Internet

there’s more to be said here, but i’ll leave it at that for now. gotta leave them wanting, eh? nah, i’m kinda pressed for time and this should have been published here a while ago.

  1. Hi
    The Open University in the UK publishes much of its research openly through ORO, Open Research Online.

    It has an OCW/OER website, OpenLearn.

    It uses lots of open source software including being one of the world’s biggest developers of the Moodle VLE.

    It is a distance learning University and has been using technologies, including the web, for decades to deliver high quality learning experiences to remote learners who would otherwise had no route into higher education.

    We’d be interested to hear more about your concept for an Open University.
