= Openness in Education =

In January 2012 members of the taskforce began taking David Wiley's Introduction to Openness in Education course. The course required participants to work through 12 different topics on openness in education and create a blog post summarizing what we learned and our thoughts about each topic. Badges could be earned for completeing the course. This wiki is to summarize what we learned, share the knowledge we gained, and the deliverables/artifacts/resources we developed during this process.
