Open ed materials dev as service learning

What a great idea! DeAnza College has a community service learning project that involves developing open educational resources. They suggest several projects that students can contribute to.
What a phenomenal way to teach about OER while contributing something to the world at large.
I really like that the projects they’ve selected are all ones that can easily be contributed to by an average person. More courses should do something like this (like the open dictionary). I think it’s an incredibly valuable way to get immersed quickly in OER (and more immediately valuable than designing yet another new OER project — there are plenty already out there that need our help!)
Thank you do DeAnza for this brilliant model we can all follow.
