<p class="MsoNormal">Peer production and collective intelligence phenomena (such as open source software, collaborative filtering/tagging, open courseware, collaborative authorship of wikis, crowdsourcing and social media) all richly demonstrate the interconnected
technological, legal and social mechanisms involved when "open communities” engage in massively distributed, parallel innovation and collaboration activities. Just as the industrial community has had to react and adapt to these increasingly ubiquitous open
phenomena, the academic community must also consider the challenges openness creates. These include both (1) the theoretical and methodological challenges we must meet in order to understand openness and (2) the impact of "openness" how we research, teach,
disseminate knowledge, educate and collaborate with students and colleagues. In particular, where we once considered systems in structured, controlled, and top-down ways, we now find ourselves considering systems in grassroots, emergent, and open forms. In
response, our practices of education and research must respond in an effort to become a part of this new landscape. In this AIS Webinar, we present various perspectives on how we can accommodate peer production, collective intelligence, and open communities
in the advancement of our pedagogical and research–oriented careers.<o:p></o:p></p>
