Open Innovation, iTunes University and Science Commons
December 15th, 2008<http://sciencecommons.org/weblog/archives/2008/12/15/open-innovation-itunes-university-and-science-commons/>by

Over the past few weeks, a number of online media components have been
posted on Science Commons - from
videos<http://video.kauffman.org/services/player/bcpid1811456713?bclid=1612710415&bctid=1804003748>and
features
on Open Innovation<http://www.kauffman.org/advancing-innovation/open-innovatioin.aspx>over
at the Kauffman
Foundation's Web site <http://www.kauffman.org/>, to John
Wilbanks<http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/wilbanks/>'
latest talk<http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/health.usf.edu.1569822441>this
past November in Tampa, Fla. as part of "iTunes University" and
Digital
Media in Health Care Leadership Symposium<http://www.cme.hsc.usf.edu/itunesu/>.
Wilbanks is the Vice President of Science at Creative Commons.
Science Commons receives generous support from the Kauffman
Foundation<http://www.kauffman.org/>.
Visit their web
site<http://www.kauffman.org/Section.aspx?id=Advancing_Innovation>for
more
information on the Science Commons
project<http://www.kauffman.org/advancing-innovation/science-commons.aspx>,
as well as their recent feature, "Open Innovation: Rx for Improved Human
Health" <http://www.kauffman.org/advancing-innovation/open-innovatioin.aspx>as
part of their Advancing
Innovation <http://www.kauffman.org/Section.aspx?id=Advancing_Innovation>wing.
In that
piece <http://www.kauffman.org/advancing-innovation/open-innovatioin.aspx>,
Wilbanks lays out the underlying theory behind our Open Innovation work, its
relationship to access, and its footing in network theory.
He writes<http://www.kauffman.org/advancing-innovation/open-innovatioin.aspx>
:
"[...] users can spend their time and money innovating, not negotiating
permission to use the network. It's why the Web, despite its significant
disadvantages in functionality and user base at launch compared to Prodigy
or AOL, crushed both of them in only a few years. The access principle, as
applied in the network, fostered innovation because it shifted power from
the owners to the network users."
I encourage you all to also check out the accompanying videos on the
Kauffman Foundations Web site, embedded into the articles linked above.
Also available, thanks to iTunes University, is one of Wilbank's latest
talks<http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/health.usf.edu.1569822441>from
the Digital
Media in Health Care Leadership Symposium<http://www.cme.hsc.usf.edu/itunesu/>.
The event, cohosted by USF Health and Apple, Inc., was held this past
November in Tampa, Fla., bringing together over 170 participants from
academia and beyond to discuss new ways of incorporating emerging mobile
technology and digital learning into health care and education. For more
information, visit the conference's Web
site<http://www.cme.hsc.usf.edu/itunesu/>.
