Declaration of learning independence

The idea of the open source learning is something I find to be very interesting. In most of my classes I am asked to simply open the textbook and memorize the information. In this class however I have been told that I am allowed to find my own resources. With this ability I will be able to focus on what I find to be most important to me and work hardest at improving skills around that area. I look forward to what lies ahead at the end of this course. Some collaborative working groups are even beginning to form, some around subjects such as health and fitness. In an attempt to increase my skills I will find a group that I'm interested.
