Open Source Content in Health

Last week I was discussing the challenges of using open source methods for the development of courses at the community college level. Here is an example of open content made available through Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health:

A Wealth of Knowledge Free to the World: JHSPH OpenCourseWare
The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s OpenCourseWare (OCW) project, provides access to the School’s most popular courses.
The Bloomberg School’s OCW:

  • does not require that participants register;
  • does not grant degrees or certificates;
  • does not provide access to JHSPH faculty

This can be the end result of open source content, but I’m still wondering if anyone out there has used open source development methods inside an organisation?
