[Irtalk] About OpenKnowledge | Stanford Online

[Hilton Gibson]

Open source, open science, open data, open access, open education, open
learning -- this free, online course provides an introduction to the
important concept of openness from a variety of perspectives, including
education, publishing, librarianship, economics, politics, and more, and
asks you to discover what it means to you. Open Knowledge is international
and multi-institutional, bringing together instructors and students from
Canada, Ghana, Mexico, the United States, and the rest of the world. It
will challenge you take control of your own learning, to determine your own
personal learning objectives, to contribute to the development of the
curriculum, to reflect on your progress, to learn new digital skills, and
to take a leadership role in the virtual classroom. It will also provide
you with the opportunity to connect with colleagues from different
countries and professions, and to better understand areas where your
interests overlap and where unexpected distinctions exist. We hope you’ll
consider taking this journey with us.
