Open-Access Publishing in Education - Building Communities and Sharing Knowledge
Richard Baranuik, Rice University
A grassroots movement is on the verge of sweeping through the academic world. The "open access movement" is based on a set of intuitions that are shared by a remarkably wide range of academics: that knowledge should be free and open to use and re-use; that collaboration should be easier, not harder; that people should receive credit and kudos for contributing to education and research; and that concepts and ideas are linked in unusual and surprising ways and not the simple linear forms that textbooks present. Open access draws inspiration from the open-source software movement (Linux, for example) and is enabled by recent developments in information technology, in particular the Internet and World Wide Web. This talk will overview open access, its promise, and its current and future challenges. As a case study, I will relate a number of lessons learned over the last five years directing the Connexions Project. Translating the open-access consensus into real software and real legal assemblages has been anything but intuitive.

So Who Are These NMC People Anyway?
Larry Johnson, New Media Consortium (NMC)
The New Media Consortium (NMC) is an international 501(c)3 not-for-profit consortium of nearly 200 leading colleges, universities, museums, corporations, and other learning-focused organizations dedicated to the exploration and use of new media and new technologies. Among these members are the Maricopa Community Colleges. The consortium serves as a catalyst for the development of new applications of technology to support learning and creative expression, and sponsors programs and activities designed to stimulate innovation, encourage collaboration, and recognize excellence among its member institutions. Come and learn about this work and how Maricopa has been and is involved -- and how you can take advantage of that involvement on your campus. Learn about the NMC's four major initiatives and international projects like the Horizon Project and Pachyderm -- and how you can be a part of the NMC's efforts to stimulate dialog and understanding through the exploration of promising ideas, technologies, and applications.
