Open Teaching Multiplies the Benefit but Not the Effort

Posted on 16 July 2009 by jrobes

“When the costs of “open teaching” (freely allowing people outside the university to view course materials and informally participate in the course) are so low, I ask myself a question. Do we professors, who live rather privileged lives relative to the vast majority of the planet’s population, have a moral obligation to make our teaching efforts as broadly impactful as possible, reaching out to bless the lives of as many people as we can? Especially when participatory technologies make it so inexpensive (almost free) for us to do so?
I believe the answer is yes.”

David Wiley, der vielleicht prominenteste Vertreter der Open Content-Bewegung und gegenwärtig Gastblogger beim Chronicle of Higher Education, beschreibt anhand eigener Erfahrungen, welchen Gewinn es für alle Beteiligten, Lehrende wie Studierende, bringen kann, wenn sie die neuen technischen Möglichkeiten nutzen, um ihre Arbeiten und Erfahrungen mit anderen außerhalb ihrer Hochschule zu teilen. Lesenswert!
