At a time when great places of learning - such as MIT - & great
sources of media programming - such as the BBC - are opening
their IP (course & program contents) to the world for cost-free
downloading, why would anyone want to "hide" their learning
objects... from the very people who are in a position to put them
to work for their students?
It's a new world, Leon.
We have enough to share...
And - as teachers - we spend enough time at home...
(downloading them might enable us to work a bit more
at home...?)
Generosity with learning objects means more people
can learn (ie, if BELTS is living up to its potential).
These days, folks are learning to share their creations
in part so as to get the feedback needed to make them
better.
It's a brave, new world, Leon.
Get used to it. ;-)
