The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) has passed a resolution requiring all content produced through competitive grants to be openly licensed. From the post:
All 34 Colleges will benefit by having access to digital software, educational resources (e.g., courses, textbooks and journals) and knowledge funded through competitive funding. Digital products from competitive grants will be shared in online repositories for easy access to high quality educational resources.
Thanks to Cable Green for the link.
Gee. My American friends started to become smart. I am very happy. This is what I have been saying for the last 5 years. Share. ONLINE is for share. Even share it with all USA. No cost.
My advise is National Curriculum. I hope my American friends will come to that stage one day as well.
I feel indebted to USA since I got all my wonderful education and professional experience in USA from Caltech, Stanford and HP 1962-1970 Thanks to USA once more.
