Remix of Opening Up Education

Toru Iiyoshi and M. S. Vijay Kumar have released a remix of their book Opening Up Education on Academic Commons. Though Opening Up Education was released a few months ago, this remix allows for a quick synopsis of the book. The remix highlights several authors, such as Candice Thille and Catherine Casserly. An excerpt from Mary Taylor Huber and Pat Hutchings’ section:

Like the vision of open education itself, these challenges can seem daunting. It is tempting to reach for shiny new answers that depart, radically sometimes, from what has gone before. Our instinct is to be more modest. The promise of open knowledge can best be met, we believe, by building on what is already underway, by not underestimating the value of small gains, and by balancing big ambitions with lots of small steps along the way.
