ABCD as Creative Educational Practice

Open education

is about more

than replacing

traditional textbooks.

"He who receives an

idea from me,

receives instruction

himself without

lessening mine; as

he who lights his

taper at mine,

receives light without

darkening me."

- Thomas Jefferson

"MIT OpenCourseWare

(OCW) is a web-based

publication of virtually all

MIT course content. OCW is

open and available to the

world and is a permanent

MIT activity."

2,260 courses

175 million visitors

"In the times of rapid change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists."
