Ideal is local design of tools to meet local change pressures, not something delivered from experts.

Content:
Open
Mashups
Participatory
Create, co-creaete, recreate.

Yahoo Pipes lets users manipulate the content as much as they want to.

Openness generates innovation.

Educator concerns are for up to date materials. Number one concern is currency. Textbook older than five years old, book reseller don't want. Textbook currency is of critical concern.

Current models assume content is stable. By time content in book gets to student, the content is out of date. TB's are out of date and obsolete in many fields.

Meanwhile there is open source content under development.
