Idea City 2003 Notes
So you may
have been wondering where I have been these last few days.
Idea City, a three day fest of speakers from a wide variety
of disciplines, turns out to be an immersive affair with
scarcely enough time to breathe, much less post
newsletters. But because it is in my nature to share my
experience, I collected my full set of notes from the
event, scanned them, and posted them online. This is a bit
of an experiment in conference blogging. You might hate it.
But then again, you might not. By Stephen Downes, Stephen's

Proceedings of the Fourth National Technology
Leadership Summit: Open Resources in
Education
Detailed discussion of the concept of
an "Educational Source Forge," a free and open source
repository for educational materials. As Glen Bull and Joe
Garofalo write, "Just as Richard Stallman found it
necessary to employ copyright law to codify and protect a
longstanding tradition in the software community, a general
public license will encourage a similar practice in the
educational community." Several papers follow this
introduction, looking at the mechanics of such a proposal
in detail. By Various Authors, CITE Journal, June, 2003
