Brian Lamb, at the University of British Columbia, and his weblog on social learning, online learning, and open education
Sponsored by the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College, Academic Commons shares these principles with the Center's exploration of liberal arts education: (1) Free exchange: open source technology and the free and open exchange of ideas, intellectual and creative work; (2) Heterogeneity: an understanding of, and sensitivity to, different modes of inquiry and their value for the larger academic enterprise; (3) Rational evaluation: a respect for evaluative processes that are anchored within professional expertise and are based on practices of open and rational deliberation.

The Citizendium (sit-ih-ZEN-dee-um), a "citizens' compendium of everything," will be an experimental new wiki project that combines public participation with gentle expert guidance. It will begin life as a "progressive fork" of Wikipedia. But we expect it to take on a life of its own and, perhaps, to become the flagship of a new set of responsibly-managed free knowledge projects. We will avoid calling it an "encyclopedia," because there will probably always be articles in the resource that have not been vouched for in any sense.
The objective of Code v1 and Code v2 is to introduce and defend a particular way of understanding regulation, and to describe the trend that we should expect regulation in cyberspace to take.
While Lawrence Lessig himself has strong views about preserving important liberties that cyberspace originally protected, this book does not push any particular set of values. Unlike Lessig's other books, The Future of Ideas, and Free Culture, this book has no particular political agenda.

copyrighteous is where I post scraps of text on a variety of topics. It's a grab bag of short reflections and ideas (usually humorous) and longer reviews and responses to things I read or have been thinking about. The more critical pieces tend to focus on issues of free software, intellectual property and copyright, and issues of free access to knowledge.
The purpose of this site is to encourage librarians to discuss copyright concerns and seek feedback and advice from fellow librarians and copyright specialists. The Network is sponsored by the American Library Association Office for Information Technology Policy.
A blog entry that discusses and shares video from a Web seminar entitled "Yes, You Can Use Copyrighted Materials! Conquering Copyright Confusion." The Web seminar covered the NCTE Code of Best Practices for Fair Use in Media Literacy Education.
A blog on the website of The Center for Social Media and the Washington College of Law, American University. Fair use is the right, in some circumstances, to quote copyrighted material without asking permission or paying for it. It is a crucial feature of copyright law and what keeps copyright from being censorship. You can invoke fair use when the value to the public of what you are saying outweighs the cost to the private owner of the copyright.
I'm a software developer at the Learning Commons, which is a service department at The University of Calgary. My current primary role is as a software developer on the Pachyderm project, but I also get to spend some time playing with new technologies to support teaching and learning - including, but not limited to weblogs, wikis, podcasting, rss, and a few others. I also spend a fair amount of time thinking (and rethinking) about the concept of control and copyright, and how they might affect academia (What happens when a professor uses a wiki? a weblog? What would be the worst case scenario if someone that wasn't a registered student in a class and session was able to access the online resources for that class?)
