[...] Can Creative Commons effect social change in education? The open education community today is only a small subsection of those involved in education worldwide, but some great initiatives and projects have already come out of it. An initiative like Peer 2 Peer University is a prime example of the social change that can happen in education when you start building on the concepts of open. P2PU is teaching and learning by peers for peers, and it is organized learning that is taking place outside of any institution. It’s what can happen when the default changes, when open educational resources scale. CC helps make that scale possible, which is what will ultimately transform the social landscape of education.

Comment on Beyond the Textbook: The Illusion of Quality in K-12 Education by John McGeough

This is one of the most spot on brilliant articles on what is wrong with textbooks as we know them. I am fascinated by the concept of designing one’s own learning materials using naturally occuring pathways. Real learning is an organic process much like the growth of healthy plant root systems. Roots follow organic pathways to the raw materials they need each day. The brain will do the same if it is given the chance to actually follow a natural pathway.

“Chop shops” is a great term, as if textbooks were like hamburger meat. We don’t really know much about how their made, or what goes in them, but we probably should care.
