Learning in the Open is an initiative to help people worldwide learn the skills they need to live, work, and play in the open online. Drawing on the experience of Mozilla, Creative Commons and others, it covers open content, open web technology and collaborative online work. Courses are locally organized and taught peer-to-peer style, with support for local leaders provided through a global online community. | Learning in the Open is an initiative to help people worldwide learn the skills they need to live, work, and play in the open online.

==Opportunity== | |||
Self organized meetings happening everywhere. We can find them in any country. | |||
Use this infrastructure and connect w/ these communities and provide support: | |||
* people who could contribute and add another layer | |||
** adds new content and add in our expertise | |||
** (how do we contribute our expertise to these events happening?) | |||
** (why? trad foundation funding doesn't fit w/ this) | |||
* layering something inside an already vibrant space | |||
* follow up and more enduring network experience | |||
** could campaigns come out of this? | |||
** air traffic control to do this? | |||
* ambition: brings new people and ideas into campaigns | |||
** ties back to campaigns, maybe one that is joint CC / Mozilla | |||
** local reps know how to explain this and hype people | |||
** online pipeline | |||
* ideas: open access, open government | |||
* identity -> possible touch point w/ cc copyright registry stuff | |||
* privacy implications of open data under a CC license | |||
* open video | |||

=== About the name === | |||
"Learning in the Open" is a provisional name pending selection of a final name; it replaces the original placeholder name "[[User:Msurman:ABC-Camp|ABC-Camp]]". Ideally the final name should | |||
* be evocative of the goal of the course | |||
* not use the words "course" (which is somewhat conventional) or "camp" (which is somewhat overused) | |||
* not have been previously used for other initiatives (related or otherwise) | |||
* have suitable domain names available (in case we want to have a site independent of any particular organization) | |||
* translate well into other languages (should local instructors desire to do this) | |||
Should we wish to continue the "in the open" theme, other possible candidates include "Living in the Open" and "Working in the Open". | |||
