The extremely rapid expansion of open educational resource (OER) initiatives and the millions of learners they attract can be understood as an indicator of an emerging revolution in education and learning. This article describes recent developments in this area and develops conceptual foundations for studies and policies on OER. We describe four different types of OER, locate these in a field of learning theories, and discuss how the wide adoption of OER may constrain and accelerate the transformation of learning and education in the knowledge society.

"It's an exciting time to build technology for education. There's a revolution underway at every level of the ecosystem, one that will see a wave of new startups bringing tremendous value to students, teachers, and institutions. We hope that some of these startups eschew the go-big-or-go-home mentality of Silicon Valley, and take a patient view of this market, respecting the educational dollar and believing in the value of authentic grass-roots engagement. Those who do will ultimately make the biggest impact on education and have the best chance of success for themselves, their companies, and their investors." Delete the scoop?

Earlier this year, Steve got together with Richard Byrne (FreeTech4Teachers) and Christopher Dawson (ZDNet Education) and initiated a project with the objective of producing a collaboratively developed book to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of Classroom 2.0. They invited writers to submit chapters about education and instructional technology topics, with the intention of publishing all submissions in a forum where they could be accessed by the general public for review. All of the chapter submissions are now available (for free) on Scribd.com, here: http://www.scribd.com/Classroom20Book. via Ove Christensen Via k3hamilton, Score Project Delete the scoop?
