Open Education Nightmares

Nightmares & Dreams Will open education bear its promised fruits or release dreaded snakes?

The open education movement is full of hope and promises for educational improvement. It has the potential to provide universal access to knowledge, educational processes and resources. It also can facilitate knowledge growth as users of all kinds -- learners, developers, educators and researchers -- collaborate and build on each other's ideas and experiences.

But will this happen? Can this all take a turn for the worse?

Please respond to the posted questions and discuss your nightmares, hopes and experiences with open education below.
