and setting goals for year 2006:
- For executive director's report, please refer to PEOI's August,
September
and October newsletters.
- Discussion of PEOI's strategy new directions is based on
the lessons
learned from the Conference on Open Education presented in PEOI's
October
newsletter. Three major issues are to be discussed:
1- how best to bring to PEOI courses published under Creative
Commons by
other institutions, such as that at http://www.cmu.edu/oli, http://cnx.rice.edu,
http://www.montereyinstitute.org, and http://ocw.mit.edu;
2- what changes are needed in PEOI's license which can be found
at
https://www.peoi.org/Authors/Authorsen/license.html
to make it more compatible with Creative Commons which can be
found at
http://creativecommons.org
3- how should PEOI adapt its procedures to make them available
as open
source code and compatible with SAKAI see http://www.sakaiproject.org.
