Figuring out How

 This week I read:

  1. Assumptions and Challenges of Open Scholarship by Veltsianos and Kimmons

  2. Vision, Plans, and Policies, EdTechnica


In these articles, Veletsianos and Kimmons discuss the difficulties associated with the ideals of open scholarship. There are a number of issues with open scholarship aas there are with any other way of creating establishments in the area of learning, or any other type of area. Up to the point of this article, it sounds as if there had been much aplomb and interest in open education, but the focus was entirely on the utility and wonder of open scholarship. Open scholarship is great. However, there are a number of questions that have gone unanswered like how to make sure that the information being provided is good and accurate. It si an important piece of teh pizzle, ensuring that the knowledge that is spread is good information, but how can that be done?

  1. I agree! There are still so many questions to be answered. For so long we have been caught up in the potentials and powers of open scholarship that we often forget that we need to get down deeper into the details and really see how and why these things should be done. We need to consider all the contexts and situations and really get a good handle on how open scholarship can take advantage of the affordances it offers while still addressing things like quality and accuracy.
