USU's Open Education Course, Fall 2007

I am delighted to take this online, Open Ed course! I expect to learn about the history of Open Education and OpenCourseWare (OCW), how to blog, how to create and edit using Wiki, selling points for attracting organizations and individuals to incorporate Open Ed into their educational tool box, and how to facilitate online high school learning through OCW for my Miami students.

Anyone interested in Open learning can check out USU's COSL (Center for Open and Sustainable Learning) http://cosl.usu.edu/ and/or contact the Center's Director, David Wiley david.wiley@usu.edu and http://opencontent.org/blog/.

Check out the course syllabus for Fall 2007 http://opencontent.org/wiki/index.php?title=Intro_Open_Ed_Syllabus as well as past courses taught by Dr. Wiley http://opencontent.org/wiki/index.php?title=David_Wiley. Correspond with international Open Ed colleagues through their personal e-mails and blogs (see Participant section in Fall 2007 syllabus). It may not be to late to add yourself to the course!

Definitely consider this year's Open Ed conference in Logan, UT, September 26-28, 2007 http://cosl.usu.edu/conferences/opened2007/registration and the OpenCourseWare Consortium Meeting preceding this conference on September 24-25 http://ocwconsortium.org/conferences/. These are two gatherings you'll want to add flavor to by personally attending.

See you there!
