3. “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.”

9. “…largest and most comprehensive metanalysis of
undergraduate STEM education published to
date…results raise questions about the continued
use of traditional lecturing as a control in research
studies, and support active learning as the
preferred, empirically validated teaching practice in
regular classrooms.”

10. The higher education sector has reached a
critical point where it must address the
innovations that have changed the way its
learners, and the rest of society, seek and
engage with knowledge.

12. 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.

39. “I learned a lot more about writing to the public. Before
this I would have been less likely to express my views to
a group of people online whereas now I would not have a
problem in doing so.”
“By posting publicly it opened up our world to other
academics or people who are just interested in the
topic... I don’t think anyone would have thought that the
author of one of the works we were researching would
get involved.”
#studentvoices
Openness...

40. “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.”
#studentvoices
Social media...

41. “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… ”
