Thursday: 12 June
Summit
The Question: What will be needed to create comprehensive frameworks for the exchange of learning resources in global educational partnerships? What infrastructure and architectures will be needed to support appropriate use and interoperability of content? What standards and partnerships will enable commercial publishers, the architects of learning environments and educational institutions to leverage their shared missions to efficiently serve the global distribution of knowledge? What exists? What must be created, now, to transform global education?
The Event: "The Coming Changes in Learning: Creating New Architectures Now!"
On Thursday, June 12, 2008, the IMS Global Learning Consortium and the University of Michigan will convene an international conversation to examine these questions and identify opportunities and hurdles facing new models for open global learning. U-M organizers and the IMS/GLC will host this one-day public Summit as the plenary session of the Quarterly Meeting of IMS Global Learning Consortium. The sponsors are inviting leaders of Open Educational Resource projects from universities, executives of higher education text book and journal publishers, and leading architects of commercial and open-source learning systems to offer their view on the standards and partnerships that will be needed for content and interoperability to support knowledge exchange in a global educational model

Summit Keynote Presenters:
John L. King is Vice Provost for Academic Information and Professor and former dean in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. He has published more than 150 books and articles on the relationship between information technologies and institutional change. His work focuses primarily on information technology use and effect in highly institutionalized production
sectors, including government, education, health care, transport, finance, electric power utilities, and common carrier communications.
Paul N. Courant is the Dean of Libraries and former Provost at the University of Michigan. He is also the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, the Harold T. Shapiro Collegiate Professor of Public Policy, Professor of Economics, and Professor of Information. He has authored half a dozen books and over seventy papers covering a broad range of topics in economics and public policy. More
recently, he has been studying the economics of universities, the economics of libraries and archives, and the changes in the system of scholarly communication that derive from new information technologies.
James J. Duderstadt is President Emeritus and University Professor of Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. He has also served the University as Dean of Engineering, Provost, as well as President. Dr. Duderstadt’s teaching, research, and publishing activities are very wide ranging – from nuclear science and engineering, applied physics, and computer simulation to
science policy and higher education. He currently directs the program in Science, Technology, and Public Policy as well as the Millennium Project, a research center exploring the impact of over-the horizon technologies on society.
About the University of Michigan Open Learning Initiatives
The University of Michigan has a long history of advocacy to leverage collaboration and emerging technologies for wider access to and the transfer of knowledge beyond the academy. These include founding and leadership roles in the creation of NSFNet, JSTOR, IMS/GLC, the Sakai Community Open Source Project, the Google Print Project, and Global ACCESS, a health OER, recently announced by the Medical School. The University of Michigan is co-sponsoring this IMS/GLC Summit plenary session to express the deep commitment of its leadership to new collaborations with a wide range of partners – public, private, commercial and open – to advance knowledge transfer through open learning initiatives on a global scale.
