George Siemens and others have begun putting together a formal collective to ponder, plan, and develop a network for open source content/learning objects. If you haven’t read George’s Open Source Content in Education you should if you want to get a very clear picture of what they are trying to do. I’ve joined the group mostly as a lurker at this point as I try to get up to speed on all of this. (FAQ here.) This whole concept of learning objects and the ways in which they can be shared by RSS and developed through Web logs is extremely interesting to me when I can get my brain wrapped around it. The group has a Yahoo list going where you can watch the evolution as it happens.
