Here is the point of the post in a nutshell: "If we agree that empowerment and engagement of educators and learners is an important goal, we need to implement active policies that build on and support the potential ensured by passive ones," policies such as incentives and infrastructure (but let's be honest: mostly incentives). This is based on the presumption that "less than 5% of users is willing to modify content, remix it, create own versions and mash-ups." Judging by the amount of resharing, retweeting, and reposting that happens on Twitter, Facebook and the rest, I would say this number is very low. If it applies at all, it probably only applies to teachers and OERs. And I have to ask, if we have to incent them to reuse, then we should examine what we're doing.
