Welcome to topic #4! Over the next two weeks we hope to support
your thinking and creativity around the very BIG and nebulous
topic of ‘The Open Movement’. So what exactly is the Open
Movement? Well, it’s not one thing. Rather, the Open Movement is
an umbrella term that describes a number of overlapping and
interrelated movements that, collectively, support the idea of a
free and open society in the Arts, Education, government,
computing/code, research, technology, medicine,
copyright/copyleft, and other key areas. Over the next two
weeks, we will focus (mostly) on the Open Education piece of
this movement but, as always, feel free to move well beyond what
we provide. To get you thinking, here are a few suggested
activities: - Check out some of the Wikipedia articles around
the Open Movement. See The Open Source Movement vs. The Free
Software Movement (see tension between ‘Open’ & ‘Free’), The
Free Culture Movement, Open Education, Open Access, Open
Educational Resources and Open Government. Follow primary so
