My personal learning plan on how to promote OpenCourseWare concept in Finnish institutes of higher education.

I love the concept of open source, free information and open course material. I know some "gut feeling" and "sounds reasonable" -arguments, but to convince academic staff, I need numerical facts and success stories.

I want to learn both factual arguments and good rhetorics to promote opencourseware concept in both our university and in Finland. This is my personal learning plan to get better in selling the concept of opencourseware. It is part of my participating on the P2PU course DIY U: Getting Started With Self Learning.

Books:

Michele Boldrin, David K. Levine: Against intellectual monopoly (also on the web).
Anya Kamenetz: DIY U (I have read it, but not with thought: I didn't make notes to pick up the most relevant arguments and success stories etc.). (An excerpt, The official blog)

The thing is not only to read the books but make summaries from them to quickly recall the most relevant content.
