Abstract: This workshop presents Open Source Learning, which empowers students to work in partnership with teachers to develop their own learning experiences and interdisciplinary paths of inquiry. Open-Source Learning enables students to amplify and accelerate their learning by participating in virtual networks and online communities. Students can apprentice with expert mentors and collaborate with partners around the world. They can also create and curate their own knowledge capital as they learn. Open-Source Learning empowers us to produce value, interdependence, and hope in real time.
