Chapter 1What is OpenIn his daring memoir "Open," Andre Agassi, former world number one tennis player, offers an unflinching glimpse into his life, revealing the burdens and breakthroughs that characterized his career. From an early age, Agassi was thrust into a world ruled by rigorous training and high expectations, his life dictated by a father obsessed with his success in tennis. The memoir unfolds Agassi's distinct dislike for the sport, a revelation that stuns, given his profound achievements. Through candid narratives, Agassi discusses his rise to fame, his battles with confidence, and his struggle for a sense of purpose. The emotional depth of "Open" explores his transformative journey of self-discovery and the search for fulfillment beyond the tennis court. At its heart, the book teaches profound life lessons on perseverance and the importance of forging one's path, making it a resonant read for anyone feeling trapped in their life's storyline.Chapter 2 Meet the Writer of OpenIn his autobiography "Open," Andre Agassi uses a candid and reflective writing style to convey the emotions and experiences of his life and career. His language is straightforward and unadorned, reflecting his open and honest approach to sharing his personal journey. Agassi effectively uses vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes to engage the reader and provide deep insights into his struggles and triumphs. This direct and personal tone helps readers connect emotionally with his narrative, enhancing their understanding of his complex feelings towards tennis and his own identity. Through this clear and expressive style, Agassi effectively communicates the highs and lows of his life, making "Open" a compelling and emotionally resonant memoir.Chapter 3 Deeper Understanding of OpenTo address your inquiry accurately, it is crucial to define what "Open" refers to in this context. The term can refer to various concepts, including:1. Open Access: Refers to the practice in academia and research of making scholarly works available online free of charge.2. Open Source: Initially a term used in software development to mean that the source code of the software is open for anyone to review, modify, and distribute.3. Open Data: Pertains to the idea that data should be available to everyone to use and republish without restrictions.4. Open Government: A commitment by governments to be more transparent, participatory, and collaborative.5. Open Education: Resources, tools, and practices that employ a framework of open sharing to improve educational access and effectiveness.Assuming the question pertains to these or similar concepts, here's an exploration of the impact of "Open" across different fields: LiteratureIn literature, open access has significant implications. It has allowed a much wider distribution of works, which were previously confined by copyright and publishing barriers. Authors can share their works freely, reaching a wider audience, and readers from around the world can access a broad range of literature without cost. This democratization of content has challenged traditional publishing models and posed questions about copyright importance and revenue models for authors. CultureOpen culture, which includes Open Access and Open Data, has fostered a more inclusive environment where various cultural products are easily accessible to a broad segment of the population. This has undoubtedly led to a more informed and culturally aware society. Furthermore, open cultural resources have empowered underrepresented communities by providing them greater access to cultural production and participation. SocietyThe broader concept of Open has deeply influenced society, particularly through Open Source and Open Data movements:- Open Source Software such as...

Amazed to see how transcripts from https://otter.ai fold directly into https://roamresearch.commade a two minute clip inside Otter and as I drove into 4G connectivity, my spoken audio uploaded to Otter in the background.When I sat down at my laptop 20 minutes later, I watched the transcript of the audio clip drop into my Roam Research knowledge graph. This elegant connectivity of services will be a big enhancement to my daily notetaking and a major boost to my work with Open Education Resources. As you can hear from one of my Topgold Audio Clips, I want to give props to JavaScript developer David Vargas and to supporters like Jordan Burton and Dave Prout who made this happen.For John Tierney (one of the five regular people who read my blog), this is Otter, JavaScript, and Roam Research all connecting complementary pieces of technology to provide a unified system for processing. This sort of service would be a valuable part of the toolkit for field researchers. And when integrated to part of a daily review process, these connected services would help ensure that no good ideas will get lost.

EdTech Influencer Kevin Hogan leads conversations on the future of teaching and learning.In this episode of Edtech Today, Kevin Hogan sits down with the Managing Director of OpenStax, Daniel Williamson, to discuss his organization's efforts to offer openly licensed textbooks integrated with personalized learning technology.Driven by the belief that everyone should have access to knowledge, OpenStax has published 42 titles for college and high school courses across science, math, social sciences, business and the humanities disciplines since 2012. It has served over 14 million students with its resources, with more than 36,000 instructors from across the world adopting an OpenStax textbook. Every book in its library is available free — forever — to students and independent learners.When OpenStax first entered the textbook market, instructors did not widely use open educational resources as core course materials. At that time, traditional textbook publishers controlled nearly the entire course materials market. A single new textbook could cost upwards of $300, and a growing number of students were foregoing their required course materials because they were so expensive.“When we first launched OpenStax in 2012, there was a lot of excitement but also a lot of skepticism,” said Richard Baraniuk, the Victor E. Cameron Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice and the founder and director of OpenStax. “Many wondered if we could meet the quality standard that faculty were looking for. Now, we're trusted by tens of thousands of educators. We've supported millions of students. And we've saved those students more than $1 billion that they have reinvested in their education, their communities, their families and more.”OpenStax has contributed to the widespread popularity of open educational resources by publishing comprehensive, peer-reviewed textbooks that are openly licensed, allowing for adaptation to fit the context of any classroom. The positive disruption in the textbook market that has led book prices to decline has been attributed to OpenStax's work.“We're witnessing a moment in the education community where growing numbers of students, educators and administrators expect more from their educational materials,” said Daniel Williamson, managing director of OpenStax. “We are not alone in our understanding that free is the only price point that works to level the playing field for every student, and that flexibility affords learners and educators the academic freedom necessary to innovate in the classroom.”Now used in 60% of degree-granting institutions in the United States, OpenStax textbooks have had a positive impact on the lives of countless college and high school students.“Having free and unlimited access to the textbook assigned for my general chemistry sequence saved me hundreds of dollars, and I can continue to brush up on the topics in the years to come because I didn't have to return the book,” said Veronica Mucciarone, a student at Northern Virginia Community College, in a survey conducted by OpenStax on student experiences with its resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. “I am so incredibly grateful for this site.”“I was trying to go beyond the classroom,” said Drew Carter, a student at Cal Poly Pomona, of his experience using OpenStax to supplement his assigned course materials. “Using the OpenStax textbook alongside the resources I was being given in class really helped me comprehend the information. What excites me is not only what OpenStax has already done, but what the open community can do in the very near future.”OpenStax also supports independent learners like Connie Taylor, who is interested in going back to school to pursue a master's degree in statistics. She hasn't taken a math course in two decades and recently decided to brush up on her skills. With limited resources at her local library, she was able to rely on OpenStax to review and practice algebra and trigonometry.When high school biology teacher Linda Bray was hired for the spring 2020 semester, she couldn't have guessed what she would be up against. The pandemic interrupted her life, the lives of her students and her teaching plans midway through the semester. “If it had not been for OpenStax and the teacher resources that were available, I do not know what I would have done,” she said.

„Wir dürfen nicht auf dem Rücken unserer Kinder herumexperimentieren!“ Nur vordergründig signalisieren Sätze dieser Art verantwortliches Handeln im schulischen Alltag. Wenn man etwas genauer hinschaut - wie unsere Gesprächspartnerin Lisa Rosa es tut - kann man solche Sätze schnell als Ausflüchte entlarven. Hinter denen man sich gut verstecken kann, wenn man nicht wirklich etwas verbessern will. Sätze wie diese sind der Grund dafür, dass sich Schule und Lernen seit vielen Jahrzehnten nicht entscheidend verändert haben. So begeben wir uns in dieser Folge auf eine Reise durch unser Schulsystem und seine Geschichte. Wir tun das gemeinsam mit Lisa Rosa: Sie war 20 Jahre lang selbst Lehrerin (an einer Gesamtschule in Berlin und an einem Gymnasium in Hamburg). Seit 2005 arbeitet sie in der Unterrichtsentwicklung am Landesinstitut für Lehrerbildung und Schulentwicklung Hamburg. Wir reden über optimale Lerngrößen, über den Mut, Innovationen in die Schule zu bringen, über ein neues Lehrerbild, über die Experimentierhaltung, die so oft fehlt, über belehrendes Lernen und über Projektlernen, über Open Education Resources und vor allem darüber, was es bedeutet, digitale Medien ins schulische Lernen und Lehren sinnvoll zu integrieren.
