Is the MacArthur Foundation Series on Digital Media and Learning still Open Source?
Maybe it’s just a temporary thing, but I’m a little miffed right now:
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation sponsored a great series on “Digital Media and Learning,” and worked out a deal with MIT press where you can order the print version or you can download the open source version for free. Here’s a link to that site.
However, when I tried just now to browse through one of these open source publications, the MIT press gives me an error and says that the file wasn’t found. What gives? Did someone have “take-backs” on these once free articles?
Update, May 26:
I’m happy to say I am wrong– all of this stuff still is available as PDF downloads. The site just appeared to be down for a while.
