Join the editors of Opening Up Education, Toru Iiyoshi and Vijay Kumar, and John Seely Brown, who wrote the book's foreword, to talk
about future possibilities for the open education movement and how it
can improve the quality of education. The conversation addresses the
fact that despite the diversity of open education initiatives, tools
and resources that aim to make educational assets freely available
online, educators have yet to take full advantage of shared
knowledge. You can hear what innovations are emerging and discuss
with us what educators should do to reinvent and re-energize education.

In Opening Up Education, leaders in open education describe successes, challenges and opportunities they have found in a range of open education initiatives. They approach–from both macro and micro perspectives–the central question of how open education tools, resources and knowledge can improve the quality of education. The contributors also address the impact of their projects and possible strategies for sustaining open education.
