Additional background and context
OpenCourseWare is approaching the end of its first decade of existence. The open content movement has seen tremendous growth in that time. Besides creating more open content, which we are committed to doing, what's on the horizon for the movement? What can be done with all this excellent content? Where are the weaknesses that we need to address now? How do we position the movement to realize its lofty aspirations? We're looking for visionary ideas, as well as practical tools, suggestions and steps. Join us and help envision the future.
