The End of the Beginning: Open Education moves to mainstream
About This Session
Open Education is becoming more widely adopted every day. However, until now, Open Education has been relegated to the periphery of education, used primarily in a supplemental capacity.

As Open Education crosses the chasm from periphery to mainstream, it has the capacity to address a whole new set of challenges and provide a step change in the quality and availability of education.
