The sharing economy

In the 20th century you were identified by what you owned.

In the 21st century we will also be defined by how we share

and what we give away

Charles Leadbeater, 2008

the sum of all human knowledge

Open Education Revolution

www.capetowndeclaration.org

Educators worldwide are developing a vast pool of educational resources on the

Internet, open and free for all to use.

These educators are creating a world where each and every person on earth

can access and contribute to the sum of all human knowledge.

Licensing your own creations

The open education revolution depends on people in

education freely sharing their resources

What part do you play in this?

building the education commons

digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research

Transaction to transformation

Too much of our work in libraries is about transactions rather than conversations

Rather than deliver a service, create a capability in the consumer

The point is to allow consumer to help themselves
