Innovation in Content Sharing

One of the chapters in the Innovation in Mission book is written by Aaron Sandoval - then Communications Director for CAM International. He focused his innovation chapter on a project that he helped launch called www.obrerofiel.com. This was a site to resource hispanic pastors with materials.

This concept of democratizing information in order to build networks, competencies and to move knowledge forward is huge.

I just saw another example of Aaron's innovation from MIT. They have recently opened up all of their courses to the public for free! That is right. You can view the outlines, book lists, class notes and much more on any course. Imagine how that democratizes knowledge.
