The National Center for Telecommunications Technologies at Springfield Technical Community College has developed an Open Content Development System (no web site yet). On July 11, someone from the NTCC demonstrated it at the NCTT annual conference. The presentation is not online but was described briefly by William Freebairn in today's issue of The Republican: 'The National Center for Telecommunications Technologies provides help for teachers from the high school to college level. One of the latest initiatives, said [Gordon F. Snyder Jr., executive director of NCTT and a professor at Springield], is an effort to get teachers to share curriculum materials over a computer system. The "Open Content Development System" will allow free use of the shared material and is modeled on the open source software movement, Snyder said.'

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
