Open Education about Open Education
David Wiley is announcing his new course, Introduction to Open Education, and–no surprise if you know David–it’s open. To anyone. He describes:
I’m also very happy to say that this class will be completely online, run completely in the open, and is welcome to all comers. If you would like to take the course for credit, just sign up for an independent study at your university and find a supervising faculty member to whom I can send a grade at the end of term. Be sure to contact me directly to let me know you’re taking the course for credit and send contact info for your supervising faculty member. Then add your info to the syllabus as directed (Name :: School :: Email :: Blog) so the rest of us can find you. If you don’t need credit but would still like to participate in the course, I’d also love to have you! Please just go ahead and add yourself to the syllabus.
For anyone looking to understand the open education field, even just a browse through the reading list is a great start. Participating in the class is a great way to really understand in a deeper way how the field has been developing.
