So of course the first question that springs to mind is whether the equation stated in the title stands. Let's hear the argument: it is tacitly agreed that "when instructors talk about their pedagogy, it should be outside of earshot of the students they instruct [but] Open digital platforms can break these implicit rules to make spaces for joint inquiry among all members of the college community in the spirit of Freirian ideals of critical pedagogy." Why is this important? "Students do not realize what working within an open system means, and do not understand that they have the authority — and the responsibility — to develop content for the platform, and the platform itself, to shape their college community." This accords with my own experience as well. You have to not only be open but be known to be open.
