*Disclaimer - my typing skills on iPad can't keep up with pace of presentation, so here is what I managed to capture
Connective digital technologies enable: transparency in learning ecosystem, lifelong learning, organic system structures.
An open dialogue is taking place between learners and educators , and the line is getting blurred.
Principles of openness = respect and freedom
Purpose of course will dictate degree of openness.
Who owns, controls data? How do we define, measure, track success? Here's where we're really lacking.
Drawbacks to instructing in this environment: Unpredictability, sensationalized by media
Benefits: Flexible and motivating for learner, Fosters participation, Helps remove politics from learning environment
Open Education is a "Grand Experiment"
