“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.

“Recently our class has begun to use more social networking sites like Facebook and tools like DropBox to share notes and keep up to date with lectures. I found this to be a great benefit in studying and managing my work.”

“Strange putting a face to the voice of my first year maths lecturer!
Khan Academy is possibly one of the most useful sources for students studying maths. The idea is simple, If you don't understand the first time you watch it... watch it again.”

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...

Universities have a role in, not just creating new
knowledge within their walls, but for inculcating
students with a sense of ethical responsibility.
The higher education sector can play an
important role in developing the leadership
necessary for the creation and strengthening of
an inclusive society built on a sustainable social
and economic foundation.
