Recently renewed interest in online educational resources (and a bit-o-Googling) led me to your site. A former teacher and webDev hobbyist, I am curious…
I am watching for Curriki.org to go live. I have even created a wiki to start some conversation about the space (what do we want, what do we need?). Would you be willing to join a wiki-conversation about education?
If you are curious, maybe you would visit Curriki Workshop, and share 2¢ about online curriculum development. What do you think should emerge from Curriki? BTW – XWiki is the wiki engine that Curriki is deploying, so by posting at Curriki Workshop, we can learn the wiki markup that will be in play once Curriki goes live.
Cheers.

Hi John,
An odd coincidence. A colleague contacted me around Thursday or Friday about Curriki and I signed up but didn’t have much time to explore the site.
I’ll take a look at Curriki Workshop and see if I can get some others to join in as well.

Education 2.0
How about education on demand? Who could build the Education 2.0 platform? Google or a federation of startups? Academic education doesn’t work well. It’s boring, it’s antiquated, it should be fixed. There is a huge market all over the world.
Wikipedia + blogs + Facebook (social networks) + podcasting + videocasting (YouTube) + Flickr + mobile (cell) phones + gaming + IM + VoIP = Education 2.0
“Rather than spending 4 years of your life taking a bunch of courses that may or may not really matter in your life once you graduate, you can choose your education on an ‘as needed basis,’ based on your unique interests and talents.” http://ben.casnocha.com/2006/09/college_admissi_1.html
Wikipedia + blogs + Facebook (social networks) + podcasting + videocasting (YouTube) + Flickr + mobile (cell) phones + gaming + IM + VoIP = Education 2.0
I’d like to get the bugs out of Education 1.0 first.

Just a heads up to folks about what’s happening over at Curriki. The site has been adding content and updating tools so that members can develop, publish, and access open source curricula. The new Curriki.org includes something called the Currikulum Builder – it’s an editing tool that allows members to develop curriculum materials through a collaborative, wiki-based platform. Here’s an interesting lesson that one educator created using the Currikulum Builder:

There’s lots of great stuff and the more the community uses it, the better it will be. If you haven’t already, check it out.
