“I don’t think education is about centralized instruction anymore; rather, it is the process [of] establishing oneself as a node in a broad network of distributed creativity.”

At its best openness is an ethos not a license. It's an approach to teaching and learning that builds a community of learners online and off.

Individuals with abundant access to ICTs

who have habits of effective use of these

technologies in information-seeking and

problem-solving activities are unable to

make effective use of these technologies

in higher education settings.

Learners need to practice and experiment with different ways of enacting their identities, and adopt subject positions through different social technologies and media.

These opportunities can only be supported by academic staff who are themselves engaged in digital practices and questioning their own relationship with knowledge.
