Open Textbooks: Open-Source Education

I recently came across this TED Talk by Rice University professor (and Univ. of Illinois alum) Richard Baraniuk, where he discusses the concept of open-source education. In the video, Baraniuk explains the vision behind Connexions, his open-source, online education system, which essentially "cuts out the textbook, allowing teachers to share and modify course materials freely, anywhere in the world."
