The two articles by Weller and Anderson were interesting, setting out a range of ideas on the meaning of 'open education.' As I read through the two articles, I had a visual image of the Open Learner standing in the centre - at the heart of their own learning practice, drawing what they need in order to enable them to meet their own learning objectives...
The Open Learner draws on two main sources to inform their learning - Big OER (produced by the Open Scholar) and Little OER (created by the Open Producer).
They draw from these two streams, mixing (or 'curating') according to their needs, and then using this platform to engage and perform in their world.
So no two people going through the same learning process will have identical experiences, as they will each draw on different OERs, according to their needs, and engage and perform, according to their purpose in learning.
