What if... we had ‘open education’?

Mr. Smith, senior counselor to Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, has bigger ambitions still. In January he published an article in the journal Science laying out the dream of "a 21st-century library" composed of Web-based open courses for high-school and college students. The courses would be laced with multimedia features and personalized with feedback from computer programs that track student performance. The language coming out of the article in The Chronicle indicates exactly that and the White House and Education Department today echoes some of the concepts in Mr. Smith's article.
