Jennifer commented on the article |I am so excited to see this posting and the recognition that the “Kyoto agreement mandates are not ambitious enough to make any real difference to global warming.”
Would you be interested in contributing to an international, intellectual, solution oriented discussion that will result in papers being submitted to the next round of Kyoto Protocol discussions later this year?
I'd like to invite everyone here to check out a live prototype of a course we're beta testing (but it is a "live" course with actual enrollees and faculty) via the "Penn LPS Commons," a platform that we hope will set new benchmarks at the intersection of online learning and social networking.
Discuss issues surrounding environmental policy and sustainability with students presenting a report on the subject at the UN's World Civic Forum in Seoul. No enrollment. No fees. The Commons is an open academic environment to exchange ideas with students, faculty and other interested participants. A critical concept to be leveraged via the Commons is to break the paradigm of exclusion and open windows of opportunity in the learning environment to participants beyond students enrolled in a particular course, program, or even university. The word “open” here applies to the concept that there will be open (free) access to the public to view course content such as lectures on YouTube and/or iTunesU, and to participate in faculty and student-led blogs, polls, and community discussion forums. This inaugural offering is a prototype of potential future offerings via the Commons.
Join the discussion today at: http://pennlpscommons.org/ We look forward to your active participation, feedback, and ideas! -

I have seen (and have been involved with) attempts at the University level, and it's still a work in progress for us as well.
