9 ways to use open source every day | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Recently I was invited to present on free and open resources that are available on the web. This presentation was part of a local effort to keep our community working—sponsored by the Foster Center at St. Bonaventure University near my home. Some of the resources I shared were not open source and merely cost $0, but many of the tools were also open source.

Reflections on 20 Years of Open Content: Lessons from Open Source – guest post by David Wiley

Reflections on 20 Years of Open Content: Lessons from Open Source – guest post by David Wiley | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
2018 marks the 20th anniversary of open content.

This post, written as part of my agreement to keynote #OER18 later this spring, provides some historical context for the emergence of open content.

I don’t make any claim to objectivity here – this history is written wholly from my personal point of view. You may have seen it differently. That is the nature of history.
