Editor's Notes
BURN IS THE PROCESS OF CREATING A PHYSICAL PRODUCT from Connexions, like a paper textbook. We can EVEN PUSH IT OUT ONTO AMAZON TO MAKE MORE AVAILABLE. BUT WHILE THESE LOOK LIKE A BOOK, THEY’RE SO MUCH MORE, BECAUSE THEY are modular, can be continuously updated, and are not published until they are ordered (publish on demand). There is a crisis now in textbooks worldwide, with them becoming increasingly expensive. Connexions in contrast can provide books for considerably less FOR EXAMPLE – a 300 PAGE ENGINEERING BOOK WAS PULLED TOGETHER AUTOMATICALLY, PRINTED BY QOOP PRESS, AND COSTS ABOUT $25, NOT $125.
Use worksheets Locate and categorize suitable open content Topics by top courses that represent 80% of enrollments Reading level Depth and scope Evaluate Quality Accessibility Cultural relevance Currency Authority Articulation Customize, Remix, and Organize Interoperability Accessibility License type Cultural relevance Disseminate in print and digital formats Student (DIY) for production of open textbook Campus bookstore and/or print shop services for production of open textbook Proprietary services
Lenses are owned by organizations like TED, professional societies, publishers, even individuals. Each lens focuses on the part of the KC deemed “high quality”. Let’s EVERYONE become an editor and reviewer. WILL SEE INCREASING USE OF SOCIAL SOFTWARE, EVEN IN ACADEMICS, BECAUSE… Traditional peer review process is broken – will be replaced by “reputation” systems like this, social software, post-publication peer review
