=== Mozilla@Seneca, looking at learning in a large open source community ===
These courses take students directly into the Mozilla project and community, teaching them how to cope at scale with complex technology and open source collaboration. Students are taught the skills necessary to become active contributors on Firefox, Thunderbird, etc., and are expected to do real project work (i.e., work on bugs and enhancements chosen in consultation with Mozilla). The approach to teaching Mozilla is to use Mozilla's technology and community platform, from blogs to irc to wikis to bugzilla.
 
=== David Wiley: Open Education Course at Utah State University ===
The goals of the course are (1) to give you a firm grounding in the current state of the field of open education, including related topics like copyright, licensing, and sustainability, (2) to help you locate open education in the context of mainstream instructional technologies like learning objects, and (3) to get you thinking, writing, and dialoguing creatively and critically about current practices and possible alternative practices in open education.
 
=== Jim Groom: Wordpress MU at University of Mary Washington ===
This project uses WordPress Multi-User (an open source semantic publishing platform) to allow students and faculty author online with minimal overhead. This is the second iteration of a multi-user blogging platform (see the ELS Blogs description below for the first) and it is available campus-wide to any UMW faculty, staff or student who wants to use it. It has grown to thirteen hundred student and faculty blogs during the Fall 2007/Spring 2008 semesters. This web-based publishing space offers the UMW academic community a quick and easy authoring solution that is flexible, elegant, and open. Providing a relatively simple process for creating class sites, e-portfolios, and a whole host of other web-based resources. It's an easily scalable model that let's universities think through digital identities that aren't sharecropped out to 3rd party corporate services.
 
=== Wayne Mackintosh: Learning 4 Content Project at WikiEducator ===
Learning4Content is WikiEducator's flagship capacity building project designed to enable teachers, lecturers and trainers in developing Mediawiki skills for collaborative authoring of Open Education Resources (OER).
 
WikiEducator provides free training for educators in return for a small contribution of their knowledge in the form of a donated OER lesson or content resource. L4C is best described as a learn-by-doing project inspired by the North American indigenous proverb: Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may not remember, involve me, and I'll understand. L4C is likely the world's largest attempt to develop wiki skills for education and this ambitious project aims to:
 
* conduct 160 workshops
* train 2500 teachers/educators
* develop 2500 lessons of free content.
 
Learning4Content is global, has the capacity to scale and the flexibility to adapt to changing needs and circumstances given its open content license and use of open file formats.
 
== Questions & Answers ==
Here is where you can add your questions.
 
'''Example Person'''<br>
Example question goes here.
 
More details or an explanation could be added for the sake of clarity.
 
'''[[User:IgenOukan| Steven Egan (IgenOukan)]]'''<br>
How might an open OER content creation/management system be legally sound considering the different intellectual content and copyright legalities, especially with a pay for print-on-demand feature? Might it require caste-like categories of content?
 
While this might be considered just a part of the licensing portion of this course, I see it as relevant to the case studies in that each has a set of copyright and licenses related to the projects.
