Well, it’s only the second week of class, and I’m already turning an assignment in late. (It was due yesterday.) I can’t even argue (plausibly, anyway) that the dog ate my blog post. So much for iron self-discipline.
At any rate, here is this week’s assignment:
Carefully review at least 20 pages describing motivations for the open education movement. Write a substantive post with references on the motivations of the movement.
- Removing obstacles in the way of the right to education (Tomasevski, 51 pages)
- Free and compulsory education for all children: the gap between promise and performance (Tomasevski, 81 pages)
- Reaching Down to Lift Another (Hinckley, 3 pages)
- The Perpetual Education Fund: A Bright Ray of Hope (Carmack, 5 pages)
- Testimony to the Secretary of Education’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education (Wiley, 7 pages)
