I'm thinking a Legal Issues in Open Education course would make a nice addition. It might cover the history of intellectual property rights and education, significant legislation, significant court decisions, WIPO and treaties, fair use, the future (legal issues still to be decided), and...

The question is that related to developing countries, I wouldn't enter specific topics ("nutrition, literacy, agriculture, water, HIV...") but a generic approach on how intellectual property rights (copyright and patents), research diffussion and access to research, free software and open content can have a decisive impact on developing countries (I'd let the application on a specific topic to dissertations and thesis ;) Just to backup my comments, I here posted some weeks ago "A Reader on Open Access for Development". Feel free to browse... and give me feedback. http://ictlogy.net/bibciter/reports/bibliographies.php?idb=20 BTW, I'm in Barcelona too. Should you read this comment on time and felt like meeting, drop me a line. Hi David,
