"Vir-ed: The Viral Education Dissemination Project," Edupunks and Open Access Higher Education

Firstly, here's the 'trailer' for a website called vir-ed: viral education and the edgeless university:



The website's description is:

Exploring the various ways that higher education in the UK can exploit the open philosophy of Web 2.0 for disseminating information about research and infecting the network with free, user managed, and mass created distributed knowledge, learning resources, connections and spaces.

Secondly, if anyone's interested in exploring the topic of the "edupunk," here are some links to start you off:

"How Web-Savvy Edupunks Are Transforming American Higher Education" in FastCompany. (via)

...and the blogs "All The Young (Edu)Punks," "bricoblog," and "Hypertiling."

Diverging a bit off-topic, the open book "Open Higher Education and the Post-Corporate University: Neoliberal Arts and the 21st Century University," and Open-process academic publishing.
