Jonathan Lopez has tweeted on the availability of details surrounding the $500 million pledged by the Obama administration to open educational resources. From the article:
The Secretary [U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan] envisions that colleges and universities would decide whether to grant college credit to students who exhibit “mastery” of the course content and skills. There could be proctored testing centers available to accelerate and accommodate student learning. Professors could use all or only part of the content of these courses in their own classes, says the Secretary, and the Department of Defense would have similar options for use in their classes for military personnel.
