“Knowledge wants to be Free” – this is the fundamental idea behind the Encyclopedia of Human-Computer Interaction, a free online portal started by Mads Soegaard with the goal to provide free access to materials written by the world’s foremost authorities – worth thousands of dollars – whether you are from New York or New Delhi.

The site features already 18 chapters incl. HD videos ranging from Interaction Design, User Experience and Experience Design, End-User Development and Open User Innovation. Now the extraordinary feature of this site is that this content is not just summarized by an editor, but instead written by the leading experts in this field. Just as an example, the chapter on Open User Innovation is written by Eric von Hippel, the inventor behind the concepts of lead user research and innovation.

New chapters are published regularly and the next chapter will be released at the end of February 2012. Clayton Christensen, Harvard Professor, NYT best-selling author of the books “The Innovators Dilemma” and “The Innovators Solution” and one of the forerunners of the concept of disruptive innovation is sharing the models and ideas behind his work.

As a reader of this blog you can have earlier access to the content on the website. The new chapter introduces the Disruptive Innovation Model that is the underlying model of Christensen’s work. Just folio the link to the chapter on Disruptive Innovation.
