14. “Web 2.0 tools exist that might allow academics to reflect
and reimagine what they do as scholars. Such tools might
positively affect -- even transform - research, teaching,
and service responsibilities - only if scholars choose to
build serious academic lives online, presenting semi-
public selves and becoming invested in and connected
to the work of their peers and students.” (Greenhow,
Robelia, & Hughes, 2009)
18. “The Open Scholar is someone who makes their
intellectual processes digitally visible and who invites and
encourages ongoing criticism of their work and secondary
uses of any or all parts of it -- at any stage of its
development.” (Burton, G., 2009)
19. “People don’t buy what
you do. They buy why you
do it.” (2010)

24. “Linux is subversive. Who would have
thought even five years ago that a
world-class operating system could
coalesce as if by magic out of part-time
hacking by several thousand
developers scattered all over the
planet, connected by only tenuous
strands of the Internet.”
(Raymond, 1997)
25. “Gift cultures are adaptations not
to scarcity but to abundance ....
Abundance makes command
relationships difficult to sustain
and exchange relationships an
almost pointless game. In gift
cultures, social status is
determined not by what you
control, but by what you give
away. (1997)

uploaded to Youtube every second.”
“Over 4 billion videos are viewed a day.”
“Over 800 million unique users visit

39. “Today knowledge is free.
It’s like air, it’s like water...
There’s no competitive
advantage in knowing
more than the person next
to you. The world doesn’t
care what you know. What
the world cares about is
what you can do with what
you know.” (2012)

44. “Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away.
Because the word “publishing” means a cadre of
professionals who are taking on the incredible
difficulty and complexity and expense of making
something public. That’s not a job anymore. That’s a
button. There a button that says “publish”, and when
you press it, it’s done.” (Shirky, C.., 2012)
66. memes
“The gene has it’s cultural analog too: the
meme. In cultural evolution, a meme is a
replicator and propagator - an idea, a
fashion, a chain letter, or a conspiracy
theory. On a bad day, a meme is a virus”
Lowenstein, 1999
70. “...for all the money, tax revenue and intelligence that Western
governments have at their disposal (they) seemingly cannot get
their heads around a simple enough concept that wherever one
is, someone is watching and recording.”
Zack Whitaker
84. “A key to transformation is for the
teaching profession to establish
innovation networks that capture
the spirit and culture of hackers -
the passion, the can-do, collective
sharing.”

91. “To answer your question, I did use
Youtube to learn how to dance. I
consider it my ‘main’ teacher.”
“10 years ago, street dance was very
exclusive, especially rare dances like popping
(the one I teach and do). You either had to
learn it from a friend that knew it or get VHS
tapes which were hard to get. Now with
Youtube, anyone, anywhere in the world can
learn previously ‘exclusive’ dance styles.”
112. “I was able to go out and learn
throughout the entire week,
the entire year, and I’m still
learning with everyone.”
“The best part of the course is
that it’s not ending. With the
connections we’ve built, it
never has to end.”
113. What We Learned
• Open access, low-cost, high impact.
• Courses become shared, global, learning events.
• Students immersed in a greater learning community.
• Value in open spaces vs. walled gardens.
• Learning spaces controlled and/or owned by students.
• Pedagogy focused on connecting & interactions.
• Development of sustainable, long-term, learning
connections.
120. “The developed world is in
the midst of a paradigm
shift both in the ways in
which people and
institutions are connected.
It is a shift from being
bound up in homogenous
“little boxes” to surfing life
through diffuse, variegated
@barrywellman social networks.” (2002)
