ScottMerrick: Wow that was good.

JamesMcCrary: Oops..I was a little behind yall

JamesMcCrary: Ill watch the rest later

ScottMerrick: All good

MarilynJimenez: Yes, very interesting. I wondered how those courses function

ScottMerrick: You know Stanford is working with VirBELA

ScottMerrick: I believe they've created their own virtual campus

JamesMcCrary: Machine learning combined with mastery learning are powerful tools in acquiring skills and knowledge

ScottMerrick: Absolutely.

MarilynJimenez: I think I saw that in one of their ads. It's pretty expensive.

ScottMerrick: Marilyn sorry I had to scoot out to a streaming funeral. Fun times.

ScottMerrick: Universities are scrambling to establish new structures for their decimated income streams

MarilynJimenez: No problem. I am sorry that you had to do that.

JamesMcCrary: They were offering free stuff during the pandemic

ScottMerrick: Yes, thank you. At least I could leave the "room" without being obvious, lol.

MarilynJimenez: I have never been able to convince my school that they should try virtual worlds. It's been very frustating.

ScottMerrick: Let's do

JamesMcCrary: Its hard in k-12 especially due to FERPA, COPPA, CIPA. Unless the world is completely whitelabled or corraled, cant get much traction. Especially when you include high costs!

JamesMcCrary: OER...these two vids are on the nose!

ScottMerrick: I have 300 of them on shelves behiind me as I type

ScottMerrick: Wow. Googling in another window I found <u><link="1">https://cnx.org/</link></u>

ScottMerrick: Creative Commons textbooks, free...

MarilynJimenez: Good resource

MarilynJimenez: Textbook cost is a real problem in my school.

JamesMcCrary: Agreed. They are part of the problem in education.

ScottMerrick: Yes, It's ridiculous.

ScottMerrick: raises hand

ScottMerrick: "xml are the nubs in the lego" lol

JamesMcCrary: hahaha

MarilynJimenez: <size=28><sprite=758></size>

ScottMerrick: Got a bunch of screenshots of these two videos

ScottMerrick: hahaha 3 wise men

ScottMerrick: love the word "propertized"

JamesMcCrary: e.g. iTunes

ScottMerrick: creative commons is great

JamesMcCrary: agreed

MarilynJimenez: The move to monetize/propertize everything meets the desire to make everything free and available

JamesMcCrary: China has interesting approaches to IP. Knowledge sharing is heavily encouraged with IP.

MarilynJimenez: James, please explain. I am not familiar with the concept.

JamesMcCrary: Especially in startups, they encourage other startups to take their IP and make it better...without permission or money being exchanged.

ScottMerrick: IP as Internet Protocol?

JamesMcCrary: I can send some vids on it

MarilynJimenez: Ok, sounds interesting.

ScottMerrick: Hey, James can you pop me your chat text?
