Really excited to read about We Share Stuff. At The Open University we're doing a lot of work on how social software can be used to bridge gaps between formal and informal learning. See the SocialLearn website at: http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/sociallearn/ We also give away many of our course materials under a Creative Commons license at the OpenLearn website: www.open.ac.uk/openlearn I wrote a BAD post on '10 free courses on poverty' at: http://www.open.ac.uk/blogs/openair/?p=334 At The Open University we have joined a number of universities around the world using technology to open up access to the knowledge that is all too often locked behind campus walls. There are a ton of issues about crossing the digital divide that various colleagues at the OU are working on - be good to chat more! Laura Hi
