Given the abundance of open education initiatives that aim to make educational assetsfreely available online, the time seems ripe to explore the potential of open education to transformthe economics and ecology of education. Despite the diversity of tools and resources alreadyavailable--from well-packaged course materials to simple games, for students, self-learners,faculty, and educational institutions--we have yet to take full advantage of shared knowledge abouthow these are being used, what local innovations are emerging, and how to learn from and build onthe experiences of others. Opening Up Education argues that we must develop not only the technicalcapability but also the intellectual capacity for transforming tacit pedagogical knowledge intocommonly usable and visible knowledge: by providing incentives for faculty to use (and contributeto) open education goods, and by looking beyond institutional boundaries to connect a variety ofsettings and open source entrepreneurs. These essays by leaders in open education describesuccesses, challenges, and opportunies they have found in a range of open education initiatives.They approach--from both macro and micro perspectives--the central question of how open educationtools, resources, and knowledge can improve the quality of education. The contributors (from leadingfoundations, academic institutions, associations, and projects) discuss the strategic underpinningsof their efforts first in terms of technology, then content, and finally knowledge. They alsoaddress the impact of their projects, and how close they come to achieving a vision of sustainable,transformative educational opportunities that amounts to much more than pervasive technology.Through the support of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, an electronicversion of this book is openly available under a Creative Commons license at The MIT Press Web site,http://mitpress.mit.edu.
