Can Creative Commons effect social change in education?
,----[ Quote ]
| The open education community today is only a
| small subsection of those involved in
| education worldwide, but some great
| initiatives and projects have already come
| out of it. An initiative like Peer 2 Peer
| University is a prime example of the social
| change that can happen in education when you
| start building on the concepts of open. P2PU
| is teaching and learning by peers for peers,
| and it is organized learning that is taking
| place outside of any institution. Itâs what
| can happen when the default changes, when
| open educational resources scale. CC helps
| make that scale possible, which is what will
| ultimately transform the social landscape of
| education.

U.S. research should be open access
,----[ Quote ]
| The Office of Science and Technology Policy
| (OSTP) has launched a âpublic consultation on
| Public Access Policyâ, to see if research
| funded by U.S. grants should be made
| available as open access results. I think
| this is important â I believe publicly-funded
| unclassified research should actually be made
| available to the public.
