The sharing economy
In the 20th century you were identified by what you owned.
In the 21st century we will also be defined by how we share
and what we give away
Charles Leadbeater, 2008
the sum of all human knowledge
Open Education Revolution
www.capetowndeclaration.org
Educators worldwide are developing a vast pool of educational resources on the
Internet, open and free for all to use.
These educators are creating a world where each and every person on earth
can access and contribute to the sum of all human knowledge.
Licensing your own creations
The open education revolution depends on people in
education freely sharing their resources
What part do you play in this?
building the education commons
digitised materials offered freely and openly for educators, students and self learners to use and reuse for teaching, learning and research

Transaction to transformation
Too much of our work in libraries is about transactions rather than conversations
Rather than deliver a service, create a capability in the consumer
The point is to allow consumer to help themselves
Charles Leadbeater
