Free Learning: Essays on open educational resources and copyright — by Stephen Downes | National Research Council Canada
From DSC:
Thanks Stephen for this collection of essays, postings, resources, materials.
After reading the first several sections, I feel compelled to add here that I have not accepted any money for my Learning Ecosystems blog; the work I do on this blog is given freely (and this is often very appropriate…as I often curate content from many other sources).
I don’t know if I’ll be able to continue to do this, but I have chosen to post those items that I believe are going to be helpful to others and/or further a conversation or idea or perspective — but have done so free of charge. I have not been paid to post anything on this Learning Ecosystems blog.
Anyway, thanks again Stephen for your work and for your worthy goals.

WASHINGTON, DC (June 7, 2011)—The Association of Educational Publishers (AEP) and Creative Commons (CC) today announced a partnership to improve search results on the World Wide Web through the creation of a metadata framework specifically for learning resources. This work is being underwritten with grants from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The Copyright Rebellion — from The Chronicle
New lawsuits and policies have hobbled teaching and research. Now scholars are pushing back.
Chronicle illustration by Bob McGrath
The digital age was supposed to put information at our fingertips. Books and data and images on an Internet browser would be just a click away.
Instead, scholars are being denied access to millions of books. Images are not being distributed. Two major universities face lawsuits by book and video publishers for using digital copies in courses. And the U.S. Congress has placed behind the wall of copyright many items that used to be in the public domain.

Senate passes patent office reforms –from TheStreet.com
BOSTON (TheStreet) — The most comprehensive overhaul of U.S. patent law since the 1950s was approved by the U.S. Senate last week.
The America Invents Act, approved by a 95-5 vote, is intended to minimize the 700,000-application backlog faced by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, deter the diversion of its revenue to other government agencies and establish a system that grants patents to the first person to file an application, rather than having to determine who was first to produce a product.
From DSC:
I’m hopeful that this will encourage innovations within the world of educational technologies and better support educational entrepreneurship.

Brief summary/notes from DSC:
Per Kevin Kelly (Feb 2011), the future is about 6 verbs:
- Screening — we are moving from being “people of the book” to “people of the screen”
- Interacting
- Sharing
- Accessing — not owning
- Flowing — streams/flows of data and information, tags, clouds, not pages, real time, always on (24x7x3765), everywhere, no sense of being completed, feeds, flows of data, books will operate in this same environment
- Generating — not copying; pressure on things to become free; value is in things that cannot be copied (easily or cheaply). We want “easy to pay for but hard to copy”; things such as:
- immediacy
- personalization
- authentication
- findability
- embodiment
- interpretation
- accessibility
- attention

eLearning predictions for 2011 and beyond — from Web Courseworks.com by Jon Aleckson
Excerpts:
This summer I attended the 2010 Distance Teaching and Learning Conference in Madison, Wisconsin. Some very interesting topics came up in the facilitated Think Tanks, and I wanted to share some of the predictions that were developed from these active group discussions regarding where eLearning will go in the next ten years.
…
Below you will find a table that summarizes the different opportunities and challenges that were predicted to arise in the next ten years by the participants in the conference Think Tanks and by [Jon Aleckson].
