…’open’ signals a broad, de-centralized constellation of practices that skirt the institutional structures and roles by which formal learning has been organized for generations.

a critical, reflexiveapproach
openness:
Openness is not the opposite of closed-ness, nor is there simply a continuum between the two…
An important question becomes not simply whether education is more or less open, but what forms of openness are worthwhile and for whom; openness alone is not an educational virtue.
Richard Edwards (2015)@RichardEd1
“
The people calling for open are often in positions of privilege, or have reaped the benefits of being open early on – when the platform wasn’t as easily used for abuse, and when we were privileged to create the kinds of networks that included others like us.
