Back **Online Courses Go Open Source** //This session will demonstrate how two developing online schools, one in Utah and one in California, use open source content for their online schools. Both schools in part use the non-profit site Curriki as a source for and tool to organize their content. The course development process, general challenges and opportunities as well as specifics of the Curriki site will be shared.//

teacher professional development as always is key Curriki - is there any version control? based upon wiki so history always there, but can lock as non-editable or make copy How does Curriki check for quality? file checked by human resource to determine appropriateness, any member can give star ratings, professional review final level of review - groups

Jump off point for resources - de li cious perhaps that centralizes these resources? Check out Ning?


 * Question:** As I originally asked, but which was erased: If the presentation topic is on Open Source solutions, why are proprietary technologies such as Elluminate and PowerPoint used when there are Open Source tools available? I'm authentically curious, as it seems counter-intuitive.
