Workshop Description
Abstract: E-learning content is becoming much more pervasive. This developing
content which can be shared within one institution, or across continents
represents a powerful possible paradigm shift in the distribution methods of
learning content and courseware from traditional publishing models to those of
open and collaborative in nature. Major initiatives from leading institutions to
provide open courseware further support the growth of this segment of online
learning.
