A Netskills Online Seminar by Dave White, University of Oxford.

Exploring the influence of technology on 'openness' and our educational institutions' relationship to the concept. 'Openness' as a concept or approach has crept-up on our educational institutions. They have been forced to position themselves against the emerging ideology of the web and an abundance of new information sources. In this talk Dave will explore what openness online means from a teaching and learning perspective and looking at some of the tensions that arise when traditional organisations attempt to appropriate the notion of 'open'.
