However, she indicates that UofT is bound by a ‘statutory body’ called Access Copyright.” Knopf takes issue with the status of AC as a statutory body, but I am more concerned with the misuse of the term “open access”. The fact that there are works that are bound by copyright has no bearing on whether an institution chooses to support open access. This statement seems to suggest “we wish we could be open, but the law prevents it.” As of now, there is nothing anyone can do to prevent an institution sharing its research and teaching materials via open access — though corporate entities are lobbying for laws that might.

]]> Comment on PublicU2 by Jeff Whelpley http://edtechfrontier.com/2012/01/07/publicu2/#comment-782 Sun, 08 Jan 2012 19:09:15 +0000 http://edtechfrontier.com/?p=1984#comment-782 One thing that rang true for me with your article is the idea that people learn more when they are doing something that has practical, real world application. On the other side, organizations get the benefit of relatively cheap ideas and contributions that could turn out to be very powerful. I am glad you brought up the example of my organization, Mesh01, because we strongly believe in the power of co-creation and we actively try to reach out to educational institutions to join in our community. I think we are only starting to see the potential that is out there and as technology continues to break down barriers we will see more and more products being developed in this way.

]]> Comment on 2011 The Year of Open by Ed Torres http://edtechfrontier.com/2011/12/21/2011-the-year-of-open/#comment-754 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:18:16 +0000 http://edtechfrontier.com/?p=1739#comment-754 I just recently figured out what a breakthrough it is that internet flattens the world and makes available al sorts of knowledge to everyone able to connect like never before, this new media has reached young maturity really fast. I teach English at Universidad Motolinía del Pedregal in México City, and received my degree from UNAM, and I was very happy that UNAM has taken the path of really making its resources available to everyone, because even in places where no “formal” education is available, in the many sierras in México, if there is internet service, UNAM´s resources will be available for those who want to learn, marvelous thing indeed! Furthermore, originally, I thought this to be a great gift to society, but now I understand it to be an obligation for public institutions. Of course, through internet, all the open resources become readily available too. For educators in my country, the challenge is to teach people to learn, and to exploit these oportunities, while for business the challenge is to make internet available to everyone. The resouces are here! Forums like these do open indescribable horizons for teachers around the world. Thanks Paul.
PD At the begining of your post there is a picture of the sky. I take pictures of the sky from my window, I´ve done it for years, reading this post is kind of looking at the same sky others do, and photograph. Cool!
