open ed conf - open source moving into non-software types of communities
8 yrs ago only higher ed, but now greater involvement in 9-12 and community colleges
david wiley in 2009
open highschool, he founded a couple yrs ago, it's a charter school, fully online, public school, so state pays for utah students, and capacity is capped, funded for 250
committed to a high level, continuous quality improvement
in charter app:
1) only using open ed resources - to sustain ongoing continuous quality improvement
2) culture on really caring about data in day to day kinds of ways, rather than waiting till end
teachers involved in a process of being involved in learning management system
teaching model
all course materials are loaded into moodle, students interact there
teachers interacting all day, skype, phone, etc
instead of giving same lecture 6 times in a day. so on days it works for you, you don't hear from teacher, so sort of like a blended model but all on line
strategic tutoring... only
the more we're able to do w/tech the stronger the moral imperative becomes
benefits of openness
huge question
enlarge the activity space
goal - to be useful/helpful
q&a - openness and capitalism and socialism
flatworld knowledge
always - policy is much tougher than the possibility of tech
we could be educating the world right now with tech, policy is getting in the way
open 1.0 -mit - how it's supported, not connected to something sustainable. also very much a read only as opposed to a read-write, even though all are open, there's a lot that you couldn't edit if you wanted to (pdf)
doesn't model something others can adopt broadly
not a critique of mit - just the first guy out of the gate is a 1.0 and now it's 10 yrs later, we ought to be better
2.0 - more connected - have revenue generations built in - can sustain over long time (how easily editable it is)
