One Teen’s Vision of an Open Content Future

TEDx Post

High school student, Miller Singleton, of Georgia, was assigned the topic of Open Content Computing as part of the 2010 NetGenEd project, and produced this video of her vision for an Open Content Education Program, in which learners could use materials from the MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) initiative to obtain a college degree.

Said Miller, in her blog post about the project, ”It is my hope that with my video, people will learn that education is not limited to the classroom. If someone is unable to go to college, there is a way for he or she to get a college degree. Open content technology opens many doors, and with the economy as it is today, I feel confidant that it will be very helpful to many people."
