SD: when we talk about open education, we need to have a more nuanced definition of what open education and open learning actually is. DW believes that there is an inverse relationship between s/o's knowledge base and their need to have structure for a particular learning purpose. It's a matter of flexibility in choice in supporting both structure and guided expert and indvidiual, self-directed learning...it's a matter of contextual learning and knowledge building communites?
