When ideals meet reality:lessons from open source, open standards and open access Amber Thomas, JISC. ALT-C September 2012
curves and cycles: hype, change, learn cynical curious pragmatic evangelistic jaded purist
polar- -isation “The use of technology seems to divide people into strong pro- and anti-camps or perhaps utopian and dystopian perspectives” Martin Weller, The Digital Scholar VLEs are dead MOOCs take over I hate badges The End of the university
key messages We are all unique in our encounters with new things. Polarisation often masks the real questions. There is often a dialectic around open and free. Often it’s not just one model that comes to dominate. Sometimes when mainstreaming happens we don’t recognise it. Change can take a lot longer than we hope
