The iCommons iSummit ’08 is underway in Sapporo, Japan. The Summit blog offers a virtual glimpse into the conference, including the open education track. Paul Jacobson provides a nice overview of the open education projects discussed in the project review session, including Philipp Schmidt’s proposed Peer 2 Peer University, the Open Education Resources handbook, and the OER Case Study Project. Jacobson also summarizes the open education session on legal issues beyond content licensing.
Cover It Live blogging recaps from sessions on promulgating OERs and maximizing community involvement in OERs are also available on the conference site. In addition, you can follow the live action in Twitter and read notes from sessions within the Open Education Track wiki. The next best thing to being there …
This was my second open education track at the iSummit and i blogged my impressions here:

Summary: Last year it was a revolution – this year it felt like we had much less groundwork to do, but more people are joining the movement – and the amount of projects that are underway is just incredible.
Thank you for the link!
Thanks for the mention. The Open Education track was by far my favourite track.
