What for decades could only be dreamed of is now almost within
reach: the widespread provision of free online education,
regardless of a geographic location, financial status, or ability
to access conventional institutions of learning. But does open
education really offer the openness, democracy and
cost-effectiveness its supporters promise? Or will it lead to a
two-tier system, where those who can't afford to attend a
traditional university will have to make do with online,
second-rate alternatives? Open Education engages critically with
the creative disruption of the university through free online
education. It puts into political context not just the Massive Open
Online Courses (MOOCS) but also TED Talks, Wikiversity along with
self-organised 'pirate' libraries and 'free universities'
associated with the anti-austerity protests and the global Occupy
movement. Questioning many of the ideas open education projects
take for granted, including Creative Commons, it proposes a
radically different model for the university and education in the
twenty-first century.
