2. Open and participatory cultures
We are increasingly living immersed in an open and participatory
culture, with relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic
engagement, with support for creating and sharing one’s
creations, and with informal mentorship dynamics whereby the
most experienced are helping novices
The potential benefits of these forms of open and participatory culture
include opportunities for peer-to-peer learning, a changed attitude
toward intellectual property, the diversification of cultural
expression, the development of skills valued in the modern
workplace, and a more empowered conception of citizenship.
(Jenkins 2006)
3. Are we ready for such a society?
- We can read and write
- We can use a PC or a Smartphone
- We can search the web
- We manage our bank, travel,
communication through the web
- We can share our political opinion
(or more often our lunch or cat)
4. Looking deeper
Can we manage a multiple digital identity?
Can we manage our personal data?
Can we deconstruct, question and challenge media content?
Can we deal with ethical and privacy issues?
Can we find, remix and curate open content (with the appropriate
licenses)?

11. First conclusions
Progress is being made towards an holistic understanding of DL
We need more openness within DL frameworks, along three
dimensions:
• Operational dimension
• Sociocultural dimension
• Critical dimension
