Introduction to Open Education

I have always been interested in internet enabled education and openly available education. I recently came across this course by Dr. David Wiley at Brigham Young University.
I think it is a very interesting concept, because the course is both open and a game.

It also requires to post a blog as assignments, and since I have always been meaning to blog but have never really kept up with it, I thought it would be good to join the course, although I am 2 weeks late already.

I also recently became aware of the fact that following NPTEL, IGNOU has also opened up its content, and that there is a wide variety of open (although restricted to derivatives) available. This will be the content of a future post though.
