I have a dream

Posted on November 2, 2019 by Per Sandén

I am clearly in favour of a completely open education. Open access to literature, open educational resources, no tuition fees, open educational practice, open pedagogics and completely inclusive to all learners irrespective of their functional diversity or socio-economic status.
