- Christopher S. Rice gave a presentation at the Pearson CiTE Conference in Orlando, FL on April 12, 2012 about the open, social future of higher education and the OpenClass teaching and design partner experience. - He discussed advantages of the OpenClass platform including case studies of two courses: PS 557 Kentucky Government and Politics and GS 630 Instructional Technology. - Rice envisioned what a social university and collaborative workspaces may look like using examples from the music and print news industries' transitions to digital. He touched on responsive design, customization, project-based learning and the opportunity to build the future through openness and sharing.
