From OpenEd
This page provides links to the archived meeting notes from the Open Sourcing Education meeting held 14 & 15 September 2007 in Cape Town, South Africa. The purpose of this meeting was to draft a declaration on open education. This meeting was jointly organised by: Open Society Institute, Shuttleworth Foundation and Hewlett Foundation.
Meeting goals
The aims of the meeting were to expand the open education circle by introducing people doing interesting work to each other, and get them to discuss the terrain and the future.
- Develop a shared map of the open education space, making it easier for people to find collaborators and learn from each other's successes (and failures).
- Identify strategies that wil help grow the size, strength and credibility of the open education movement.
- Share our learning and our strategies with the world, possibly by developing a document like the Budapest Open Access Initiative, but for education.
The full meeting agenda is also on this wiki.
