This document summarizes Rajiv Jhangiani's views on open education. It contains 3 main points:
1. Higher education currently replicates and reinforces existing power structures by limiting access based on things like cost and access to resources. Open education aims to promote access, equity and agency.
2. The rising costs of higher education have prevented millions of qualified students from completing college degrees. Open educational resources can help reduce costs and barriers to access.
3. Open pedagogy moves beyond just open access to knowledge towards enabling students to participate in knowledge creation. It emphasizes student agency and challenges traditional power dynamics in education.
