Open-source learning is an emerging education practice that allows students to capitalize on the scope and power of the Internet to create and manage their own learning experiences and produce interactive material that is available online to everyone. The term was coined for this context in 2009 by David Preston, a teacher who developed the principles, tools, and techniques that are being used in a growing number of K-12 schools and colleges
The need for open-source learning[edit]
In an early presentation on the value of open-source learning, Preston wrote,
“Everyone loves learning. At the core of our DNA we are hardwired to learn, to explore, to crave to understand, to absorb new information. We are most engaged when our learning is internally driven, personally meaningful, and purposefully guided.“Devices will never replace or even compete with the learning benefits of human interaction. However, the Internet is an organizer, amplifier, and information accelerant that feeds our desire to learn with powerful tools that allow us to create our own paths of inquiry and share what we learn. Search is magic. Expert teachers instruct on demand in two clicks. We can collaborate with anyone in the world. Information has never been more engaging, accessible, and customizable.“But ‘learning’ and ‘school’ are two different things.“Current curriculum and teaching, even when delivered with the tools and media of the information age, do not fully engage students or prepare them with the skills they need to prosper in the 21st century.“The challenge confronted today by the education establishment is not just simply integrating new technology into the school system. In order to encourage customization and innovation, and in order to empower students to embrace and engage with the learning process and the culture they’re preparing to join, we must abandon some of the fundamental assumptions that school has been built on for a thousand years."[citation

The emergence of the "open source" term[edit]
The term "open source" was first proposed by a group of people in the free software movement who were critical of the political agenda and moral philosophy implied in the term "free software" and sought to reframe the discourse to reflect a more commercially-minded position.[12] The group included Christine Peterson, Todd Anderson, Larry Augustin, Jon Hall, Sam Ockman, Michael Tiemann and Eric S. Raymond. Peterson suggested "open source" at a meeting[13] held at Palo Alto, California, in reaction to Netscape's announcement in January 1998 of a source code release for Navigator. Linus Torvalds gave his support the following day, and Phil Hughes backed the term in Linux Journal. Richard Stallman, the founder of the free software movement, initially seemed to adopt the term, but later changed his mind.[13][14] Netscape released its source code under the Netscape Public License and later under the Mozilla Public License.[15]
