This story was one of the “originals” in the first iteration of what was then “Amazing” stories of Openness in 2009.
Terry tells about his open access publication of the volume he edited Theory and Practice of Online Learning (first edition 2004, second in 2008) and the impact it had on proving the value of open publishing.
See also Terry’s blog Virtual Canuck.
This collection of 132 stories has been maintained since the original presentation at the 2009 Open Education Conference. Perhaps the best example I can share is the Amazing Unknown Flower story.
I’ve asked people several times since then to share theirs. In this newest SPLOT powered site, you can add your own stories directly.
Unless specified otherwise, all content and stories are openly shared under a Creative Commons Attribution CC BY license as that is one of the key elements for amazingness to happen. This web site is created and managed as a personal project by Alan Levine.
