8. ● Open Course Ware embodies liberty: opens code for study, review, &
modification; transfers power and control from corporations to schools;
ZERO COST = OPEN LEARNING
● OCW encourages learning from experiencing & building: empowers
students to be technology innovators & inventors NOT technology tourists
● OCW = Student/Professional Collaboration: technology student
apprenticeships; IT support/help desk run by student apprentices;
apprentices are treated as IT staff; helped roll out school-wide 1-to-1
● OCW flattens traditional hierarchy of teacher/student relationship:
Apprentices learn logistics, project planning, writing, training skills, peer
leadership, troubleshooting, & practical problem-solving strategies
● OPEN SOURCE OPENS STUDENTS’ MINDS!
● LEARNING SHOULD BE FREE!
