OS outside ITWe are already seeing open learning content with the Open Knowledge initiative at MIT. It's pretty obvious that "content" without "context" has little value. MIT knows that an MIT degree is more than just the stuff they've put on the web; it's the interactions between students and faculty as well.

Like open source software, open source content (not necessarily digital) can be free, perhaps with limitations, and supporting services or "how to" can be fee for service. The US government is looking at this model for all educational institutions.
