Summary

Discussed the system of proprietary law and the issues that many teachers face when searching for quality materials. A proposal for the development and maintenance of an online materials repository was introduced by the presenter. Using the "Wikiversity" website would allow for the creation and sharing of open source materials, that educators could access and even modify to suit their own purposes. Attendees were then asked to create and submit simple activities that could be imported into the database of activities.
