Abstract:Technology attracts students but institutions restrict network activity. Instructors try to incorporate technology in courses, but policies specify what they can install or access. In visiting 15 institutions, the presenter observed a variety of approaches to open source discipline (not enterprise) software, open content (copyright issues), and open networks (what's blocked).
