Open scholars are transparent by making their intellectual work digitally visible and inviting criticism and feedback. They create by maximizing social learning and connectivist pedagogies. They use and contribute open educational resources to save time. They openly apply their research, do open research by making lab notebooks public, filter and share information with others, support open learning alternatives, publish in open access journals which have increased citations, comment openly on others' works, assign open textbooks, induce open students who become co-creators and gain experience, teach open courses, build networks, and are agents of change who help cross-pollination and growth of learning networks.
