= = =** Rethinking Content Development – why is this necessary? **=


 * This wiki is part of a session at eLearning 10 (Sydney, December 9th and 10th). It will address the need to rethink the creation of content for online or blended delivery in the light of:**


 * The abundance of freely available content on the Internet (websites. Media, RSS feeds, blogs, discussion groups, Communities of Practice, etc)
 * The costs associated with creating content
 * The emphasis on creating content rather than on effective teaching methods
 * The increasing importance of Open Licensing arrangements such as Creative Commons
 * The increasing use of mobile technologies in education
 * The realisation through recent reports on e-assessment that many Australian educators create content that is poorly assessed (eg quizzes)
