Re: [Wikimedia Brasil] US. Gov commits $2 billion for open education, all outputs to be under CC BY

Parece que as notícias não são tão positivas assim. Um programa de 12 bi para community colleges virou 2 bi (em 4 anos). Destes 500 mi por ano, não se sabe quanto vai ser gasto em material didático. Sim, é relevante que o governo demanda CC-BY, mas é relevante sobretudo do ponto de vista simbólico. Ewout http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/2-billion-federal-program-could-be-w… "How dramatically is unclear. Creative Commons fanned excitement online with a blog post headlined, “U.S. Department of Labor and Department of Education commit $2-billion to create open educational resources for community colleges and career training.” And Dave Cormier, a proponent of open education based at the University of Prince Edward Island, seized on that story to argue that the money “could end the textbook industry as we know it.” But when The Chronicle forwarded the Creative Commons story to Sara Gast, a spokeswoman for the Education Department, she doused a little cold water on all the excitement. “The headline is inaccurate,” she said in an e-mail. “But at this point, as the solicitation phase is just beginning, we don’t know how much of the $2B (or even $500-million in the first year) will be spent on open educational resources.” 2011/1/20 Carolina Rossini <carolrossiniatwiki(a)gmail.com>om>: -- http://stoa.usp.br/ewout
