As guest contributor to Penn State's Open Source Software in Education Series, James Dalziel has posted a fascinating discussion about Learning Design and what he calls Open Source Teaching - the use of Open licences such as Creative Commons to share codified descriptions of educational processes.
Some interesting points are raised about the use of licensing; attitudes to commercial/non-commercial conditions of use, incentives such as attribution and reputation, and ironing out any misconceptions about 'ideas' being copyrightable. The overall effect is to dispell myths that create barriers to sharing, and give the message that the value of Learning Designs is enhanced through reuse.
Well worth reading the full post and responses.
