Hi I have organised a JISC Conference session next week, chaired by Jackie Carter (Mimas, Manchester), on "Making the most of open content: stories from the frontier" http://www.jisc.ac.uk/events/2011/03/jisc11/programme/3opencontent.aspx . It will be live streamed, Tuesday 15th, 3-4pm. In the session we're not just thinking about open educational resources, but also about open data, open access research papers and data, and digital content more broadly. I've been thinking about why it matters that we understand how this open content will really be used.
