In the Horizon 2010 Report, under near-term horizon:
"Open content, also expected to reach mainstream use in the next twelve months, is the current form of a movement that began nearly a decade ago, when schools like MIT began to make their course content freely available. Today, there is a tremendous variety of open content, and in many parts of the world, open content represents a profound shift in the way students study and learn. Far more than a collection of free online course materials, the open content movement is a response to the rising costs of education, the desire for access to learning in areas where such access is difficult, and an expression of student choice about when and how to learn." http://wp.nmc.org/horizon2010/ http://www.nmc.org/pdf/2010-Horizon-Report.pdf As it relates to Moodle … Moodle Networking (HUB mode or Moodle Network of collaborating entities) http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_Network http://docs.moodle.org/en/MNet Example: Victoria ISD has 'oodles of Moodles' ... one per campus. Collaborative projects between Elementary campuses are conducted via an 'ehub'. Add-on worth checking into: Mr. Cute Jr. http://www.learningobjectivity.com/mrcute/ http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=2540 Note: USA and Texas could learn from UK! (IMHO!) Potential sites for TCEA/_SIG members: Area Moodles on TCEA's Moodle server: 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, 16, 17 HUBS on TCEA's Moodle server: Area 3 HUB, MHUB. Area 3 HUB consist of 5 ISD's in Area 3 who are beginning to collaborate. Each has their own Moodle(s) MNetted to others and to the Area 3 HUB. Moodle 2.0 and Community Hubs will have repositories
