Imagine a global network of open and free educational content, customized
for different states or countries, with experimentation across multiple
sites and multiple platforms, so that someone else can find things to do
with my content that I never thought of. Imagine bringing into the open
educational content community hundreds of thousands of teachers, students
and volunteers. That is exactly what Creative Commons' latest project, CC
Learn, intends to do.It will be devoted to open educational material and
repositories from Kindergarten to lifelong learning. Their goal is to break
down barriers - whether legal, technical or cultural - between different
collections of open educational content, by making the material more
"interoperable," to speed up the virtuous cycle of use, experimentation and
reuse, to spread the word about the value of open educational content, and
to change the culture of repositories to one focused on "helping build a
usable network of content worldwide" rather than "helping build the stuff on
our site."Creative Commons is also looking for an Executive Director with
experience in education to run the new division. Details are available on
the CC website.
