We do so many things that we don’t expect to get paid money for, but there is still value exchange that happens: social, emotional, reputational, educational and more. At Rebus we are building a global community of creators of open textbooks, and so we spend a lot of time thinking about different kinds of (non-monetary) value exchanges, how we can recognize them, celebrate them, build on them. In this session, we’ll explore together these different values, and hopefully develop some new ideas on how we can capture and promote them.
I like the web / books / open. I've (helped) build some communities and tools over the years, including: LibriVox.org, Pressbooks.org and rebus.community.
