Ideas for open access and open educational resources at BYU

It was a gorgeously sweet-smelling rainy day, but I managed to bring
myself into the confines of a BYU classroom to attend David
Wiley's IPT 692R: Intro to Open Education. Today we're looking
at how an institution, BYU in particular, might approach institutional
policy and practice supportive of open licensing of teaching materials
and research publications (more…)

These notes pertain to Brian Lamb’s keynote on Feb 23, 2009 in Portland, Oregon at the ITC 2009 e-Learning conference. Resource/pres page: http://blogs.ubc.ca/open/open-up/ (more…)

I was dizzy with excitement and inspiration from today’s live class meeting of Intro to Open Ed course, and so with lots to mull over I chose to walk back the University Mall in Orem where my car was parked. The weather has begun to warm here in central Utah, and I had music (The National) and a book (Kaku’s Hyperspace) to ease the trip, but half-way there I wimped out and grabbed the next bus (more…)

It wasn’t snowing heavily like it was last Tuesday, and I had extra time to get to the BYU campus, but I decided to save myself some future headaches by learning to take the bus. I got on the right line, but going in the wrong direction. Thirty minutes later, I switched buses and made my way just in time to the second live meeting of David Wiley’s IPT 692R: Intro to Open Education course. Here are my notes (more…)

At 11 o’clock this morning I decided to sit in on David Wiley’s Intro to Open Ed course, so after a trudging drive to the heart of Provo I parked my car at the public library and walked three blocks and up a delightful hillside path to the BYU campus. (more…)
