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.
Jim Groom
“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.”

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.

“The aim of setting up a class blog was to find a place where the
children could do their classwork such as Irish, English, History
and Geography. However, I quickly realised that not only were
the children doing great work in all subject areas on the blog
(probably because of the novelty of not working in copybooks
plus having an audience other than the teacher) but they were
also becoming very adept in other skills as a result of working
online. Typing, inserting images, tagging, online safety,
commenting, blogging, using Twitter, hashtags, and much
more…”

I have learnt that social
media/social networks are not
just to be used as a distraction
for not getting work done but
can be used as an aid to get the
work done. Social media/social
networks can provide useful
tools to help with academic
learning.

Before studying it, I used Facebook
and Twitter mainly just for keeping in
contact with people, but since have
discovered they both have much
more to offer. They are places to
discover new information and boost
your knowledge. That both education
and socialising can be rolled into
one...

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world.
Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
