In the typical expression of his vision, Wiley’s article- “Open Source, Openness, and Higher Education” comments on the issue of FOSS (fair open software sources). (Innovate Journal of Online Education Volume 3, Issue 1 October/November 2006).
He made an analogy of Friedman’s the flatting world to the necessity of the open trend of information accessibility.
Too familiar with the similar tone of clichéd yet passionate comparison (personally I committed the similar relative deprivation comparison a lot): Look at the business, science, and other areas of society where leveraging changes to their benefit is imperative, and then grudge on our higher education that still has not adapted and adopted enough in response to these changes. He argues that higher education's willingness and ability to evolve toward openness will be a strong predictor of a promising future. He envisions such enactment as equivalent if not exceeding the First Morrill Act (1862), which granted land to the states for colleges that would "promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes on the several pursuits and professions in life". Openness must become a core part of academic culture, he proclaims. This event motivates me to looking into the so called “Open Access Movement” (in everything- can- be- commoditized time and place??). One site strikes out- “Scholarly Exchange” with vision of creating and promoting accessible and sustainable open access publishing (http://www.scholarlyexchange.org/open_access.html)- I wrote about it in my reflection#2.
Then greedily again, I collected the following open sources (at this moment, I have not formed the perception of quality and quantity of these sites). I did find many sites provided by countries outside of America (Since not in English, I did not collect them so far.) Here they go:
