Presentation for Merlot 2004 workshop
The contribution of social software to education is the emergence of virtual communities devoted to the collaborative construction and sharing of knowledge. Nowhere is the need for this greater than in the development of reusable educational content, a labor-intensive process of staggering magnitude.
This workshop will discuss factors critical for the success of such "open course" collaborations, and will guide participants through the process of creating one of their own on OpenCourse.Org, a free and open platform designed to support virtual teams developing reusable learning assets. It is a hosted site and so there is no software to install. It is a freeze-dried online collaboratory: just add developers and stir! Each collaboratory gets its own Website and suite of tools for learning object development and collaboration.
