The open-content development model is the most radical aspect of Connexions, but it holds the key to populating the content commons with a critical mass of high-quality content.

Rather than the traditional content development model of one author to one textbook, Connexions links worldwide and grassroots communities of authors to collaboratively create, expand, revise, and maintain Modules and courses.

Keeping the material under a free license will result in a dynamic, up-to-date content base that makes the latest knowledge globally available.

See the Content Commons for yourself.
