Dear Franco,<br><br>I spent two hours incorporating some of Stephen Downes excellent material in our wiki,<br><br>see <a href="http://www.downes.ca/files/FreeLearning.pdf">http://www.downes.ca/files/FreeLearning.pdf</a> (which is by the way a good example of a best of bk we are envisaging ourselves)<br>
<br>Could you also incorporate this as a series in our blog, under the heading "Essay of the Week" (to replace a book of the week the first available week)<br><br>I would suggest for the serialization in three episodes, the following entries<br>
<br>see below or in 'recentchanges' of the wiki:<br><br>* defining open content licenses<br><br>* defining open educational resources<br><br>* a third one of your choice ... (or not, 2 entries is fine as well)<br>
