Opening Up Education 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. In addition to the panelists, we anticipate that many of the book's chapter authors will participate in our online discussion. 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.

Open Education Nightmares Will open education bear its promised fruits or release dreaded snakes? The open education movement is full of hope and promises for educational improvement. It has the potential to provide universal access to knowledge, educational processes and resources. It also can facilitate knowledge growth as users of all kinds -- learners, developers, educators and researchers -- collaborate and build on each other's ideas and experiences. But will this happen? Can this all take a turn for the worse?

Open Education Nightmares

Nightmares & Dreams Will open education bear its promised fruits or release dreaded snakes?

The open education movement is full of hope and promises for educational improvement. It has the potential to provide universal access to knowledge, educational processes and resources. It also can facilitate knowledge growth as users of all kinds -- learners, developers, educators and researchers -- collaborate and build on each other's ideas and experiences.
