<p>Believe it or not, not having open access has caused problems internationally with providing books in a audio version for individuals who are blind. The issue is not all countries have legal requirements or the means, like the US library of Congress, to scan a hard copy book and reformat it so a software, like adobe, reads the book out load.

The issue is not all countries have legal requirements or the means, like the US library of Congress, to scan a hard copy book and reformat it so a software, like adobe, reads the book out load. If that is not done by the institution that has a copyright on the book, other countries are fearful of infringing on the copyright because technically the format, hard copy to electronic, has changed. I don't fully understand or agree with the legal argument but having open sourcing would eliminate this argument and not require a change in the actual law.</p> Greetings Colleagues.

<p>Thanks, Bill. In addition to providing lots of opportunities for relative "newcomers" to the field to get "up to speed," the new system will also include support for those wishing to help advance the frontier of the field (and improve the quality of MOOS materials). There'll also be an integrated blog which will allow us to better publicize the work that others are doing to on the intractable conflict problem.</p>

<p>One way that I've contributed to the open access movement is via our <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.creducation.org/catalog/" target="_blank">Full Text Resources Catalog</a> for the Conflict Resolution Education Resources website. I used an open source cataloging software (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://scout.wisc.edu/cwis" target="_blank">CWIS</a>) that exports library records that can be shared by other repositories who also use and can read the open catalog records standards. The upshot is that all the records that we curate in our specialized CRE collection can be now be searched and retrieved at most public and college libraries via the ubiquitous First Search catalog package, among others. </p>
<p>I also use the data records as resource suggestions on pages within CREducation.org, such as the following <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.creducation.org/cre/teachers/cre_practices_descriptions/restorative_practices" target="_blank">page on Restorative Practices</a> in schools.</p> Thanks Guy and Heidi for this…tag:www.adrhub.com,2016-11-02:4905899:Comment:756402016-11-02T17:28:05.528ZBill Wartershttp://www.adrhub.com/profile/BillWarters

<p>Thanks Guy and Heidi for this valuable contribution. FYI, the video embed worked great both on my phone and laptop. Your body of work starting with CRInfo.org and Beyond Intractability and now these Massive Open Online Seminars really ties together many aspects of our forum topic. You have gathered and curated knowledge about a problem set and made it available out in the open, you are promoting constructive conflict resolution, and you are seeking ways to promote conversations around key problems and knowledge in a way that produces new information and action. Bravo. As a professor teaching conflict studies, I love pointing students to the knowledge base.</p>
<p>Regarding the new MOOS model (which my wife, a Canadian, approves of!), do you see it also including the production of new knowledge along the lines of Open Educational Resources or open access journal articles or some kind of wiki? Is that too much to ask of a bite-size learning and discussion space? While I know it is early days for this, I'm interested in your thoughts.</p> As our contribution to the Cy…tag:www.adrhub.com,2016-11-02:4905899:Comment:757232016-11-02T16:08:55.321ZGuy Burgesshttp://www.adrhub.com/profile/GuyBurgess

<div><em>A new place to explore and discuss ideas for moving beyond the complex intractable conflict problems that so threaten human society.</em></div>

<div><em>Guy Burgess and Heidi Burgess</em></div>
<p><br/> <span>MOOS stands for "Massive Open Online Seminar" (not course) focused on better ways of handing the biggest challenges of our time: terrorism. war. mass immigration, inequality, jobs, education, deficits, climate change...you name it. We can't seem to successfully tackle any of these issues, largely due to our inability to handle the intractable conflicts these issues spawn. </span><br/> <span> </span><br/> <span>In order to encourage many more people to learn about and actively engage with this issue, we are convening this “MOOS,” which is being hosted on Beyond Intractability (</span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.beyondintractability.org/" target="_blank">www.beyondintractability.org</a><span>)</span><span>, and linked to many of the most popular social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. </span><br/> <span> </span><br/> <span>Unlike a standard MOOC (massive open online course), which is designed to certify mastery of a settled body of knowledge, this MOOS is being structured as an online seminar designed to present key existing ideas, but also to address unknowns and uncertainties and to discuss tentative new ideas at the frontier the field. The MOOS will consider both the nature of the intractable conflict problem, and strategies for dealing with it more effectively. We will focus extensively on the problems of scale and complexity that, we believe, make these problems so extraordinarily difficult and dangerous.</span></p>
<div>More information about the project is available at: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.beyondintractability.org/moos" target="_blank">http://www.beyondintractability.org/moos</a></div>
<div>A new version of the system will soon be posted with an expanded round of seminars planned for Winter/Spring 2017.</div>
<div>Tell us what you think and how, especially, you think that the project might be promoted and improved.</div>

<p><strong>ODR LOVES FREE SPEECH, BEER or PUPPIES?</strong></p>
<p>Welcome to Day 2 of our forum.

<p><strong>ODR LOVES FREE SPEECH, BEER or PUPPIES?</strong></p>
<p>Welcome to Day 2 of our forum. One of the earliest discussions around Open Source software circles around the question of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/6360/5460#p3" target="_blank">what do we mean by the word FREE</a>? Is it about the right to view source, and to create and share and modify and then run the code that drives our software (freedom as in Free Speech) or is it about price (free as in Free Beer, provided gratis). Joining the debate, techies with a sense of humor suggested that perhaps we should be thinking more about Free as in getting a free puppy. It is great and exhilarating to receive, but it turns out to require a lot of maintenance and effort to raise a healthy and safe companion animal.</p>
<p>What version of FREE makes sense in the ODR field, if any? Should we be focused on providing platforms that give people voice and choice (on the front end, not in the software), helping to promote a version of freedom of speech and democratic voice, or should we be focused on no-cost access to dispute resolution services (like free beer, only more constructive), or even enabling of people to inspect the algorithms that undergird their tools and influence and potentially bias their approaches? Or should we be concerned about developing maintainable longterm platforms that will serve us long into the future, like a healthy puppy that grows into a trusted companion? What say you?</p>
