I don't know if anyone from class will be keeping up on our blogs, but I plan to continue using this one for my thoughts on education.
My friend sent me a link to this video about the end of textbooks. I think this is pretty relevant to our conversations this semester. It's all about using open source tools to bring content from authors to students. I like the idea of on demand publishing that gets rid of the middleman. It brings cost down and significantly reduces the turn around time. I am most interested in how students could customize exactly what they're going to be reading.
It's an 18 minute video, so have some spare time if you want to watch it.
