- MODULAR CONTENT Our key tech challenge is how to make content not just USABLE by people but also REUSABLE – remember the DJ. There’s all kind of software we’ve had to develop, and others, all open source. But the most important decision we ever made was to go from day 1 with XML. XML is the heart of the “semantic web”, and is the future of the WWW. You can think of it as the bumps on the lego blocks that let’s them connect together in myriad different ways It let’s you…

- Content Organization Modular, Reusable Basic unit of content is a module -- small “chunks” of knowledge, addressing one topic or a single aspect of a complex topic Sounds, movies, animations, images, equations, and more can be included in modules Multiple modules can be organized into a course or textbook Combine modules from different authors to build a course or collection to fit your needs

- Free content provides basis for step change in the quality of education. If core content is free and open, and education is still funded at the level it is now, then commercial content producers have the opportunity to produce increasingly engaging content that will engage a wider group of students more deeply. This will restore america’s education system as the envy of the world.
- An open textbook collaboration between CCCOER and Connexions (http://cnx.org), Collaborative Statistics , is now freely available online on the Connexions website (http://cnx.org/content/col10522/latest/). Collaborative Statistics is also available at low cost in a print (bound) version, shipped from print-on-demand vendor (and Connexions partner) QOOP Inc. (http://www.sqoop.com/corp_libraries/CNX/collaborativeStatistics.php). De Anza College professor, Illowsky and recently retired De Anza College mathematics professor, Dean were motivated to make their Collaborative Statistics textbook available via an open license in Connexions in order to lower textbook costs for students, and provide more instructional options for teachers. Already, nearly a dozen instructors at community college campuses in California have selected the Collaborative Statistics textbook for their statistics courses this fall. The anticipated enrollment in these courses is more than 700 students. Additional university faculty in New Mexico and New York plan to customize and/or adopt the textbook for Spring 2009 courses. Also, several faculty have already volunteered to contribute additional content for the Collaborative Statistics textbook (e.g., Minitab instructions and homework problem sets); the latter will be edited for inclusion by the Collaborative Statistics textbook authors, Illowsky and Dean. An open statistics course developed by Illowsky and Dean, freely available from Sofia (http://sofia.fhda.edu/gallery/statistics/index.html) is closely aligned with the Collaborative Statistics textbook. The open statistics course at Sofia includes lesson plans, videotaped lectures, suggested homework, quizzes, and exams.

- Thanks – it’s great to be here – this has been a great conference. Let me start with a couple questions: Has anyone here learned anything new? Met someone new? Been inspired? How many of you would recommend this to a friend? How about 6 billion friends? What I’d like to talk about today is a big deam – a dream of scaling up this extraordinary TED experience from the 800 of us to the entire world. (There are 800 of you here today; what if we could scale this up to 800M or a few billion and make this incredible TED experience accessible to EVERYONE?)
