18. how we learn,
not what we learn.

19. The mission of the University of Michigan is
to serve the people of Michigan and the
world through preeminence in creating,
communicating, preserving, and applying
knowledge, art, and academic values, and in
developing leaders and citizens who will
challenge the present and enrich the future.

20. what we do at a university
should be shared.

22. Where does this all lead?
> toward a culture of “OPEN-ness”:
:: a 21st century education landscape where
educators, students, staff, and people around the
world use, share, and remix open content.
:: holistic view - how we get there is important

23. How do we get there?
:: faculty & students using and creating
openly licensed educational media
:: institutions supporting open access
journals and textbooks
:: developers building openly licensed
software tools on open source platforms
:: all parties participating in innovative
teaching and learning exercises
