-Earlier attempts at instructional tooling\citep{christian01} have not
-kept up with the rapid pace of software development. Using flexible
-open source tools makes it possible to distribute maintenance costs
-across a community of teachers. This makes it easier for existing
-teachers to share ideas and for new teachers to pick up where previous
-teachers left off, instead of having to start by recreating earlier
-work. On the self-study side of this, Ben Crowell has already
-developed a number of open source
-textbooks\citep{crowell-light-and-matter,crowell-simple-nature,crowell-mechanics,crowell-conceptual-physics,crowell-calculus,crowell-general-relativity},
-which are freely available along with
-\href{git://lightandmatter.com/physics}{their source} under the
-\href{http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/}{CC BY-SA 3.0
- US} license. There is room for continued development along this
-front, as well as uncharted territory in open source laboratory
-materials and equipment. My Ph.D.\ thesis focused on developing open
-source software for controlling atomic force microscopes in
-biophysical applications\citep{king13}, and I look forward to
-leveraging this experience to develop open source software and
-procedures for undergraduate labs. Besides making it easier for other
-teachers to collaborate on lab design, an open source platform
-(software and hardware) will enable on-the-fly student alterations. I
-expect that replacing the magic of ``black boxes'' with well
-documented, explorable tools will encourage students to see labs as
-chances to build their theoretical and practical familiarity with the
-physical world instead of arbitrary, cookbook-style recipes.
