Nate Angell applies his Open Learning Bingo to zines ('zines' were underground magazines distributed and distributed openly in pre-internet days; they evolved into e-zines, a forerunner of blogs). The specific application is to Zines as Open Pedagogy by Elvis Bakaitis. "The bingo cards end up displaying a sort of 'heat map' of openness," he writes. Perhaps, but it's not clear what it tells us. We get a detailed account for each dimension of openness, but are left wanting an overall picture. Does the alignment of spaces in the bingo card mean anything? Do gaps or clusters signify anything? If not, well, then it's just a rubric, and not really a map in any significant sense.
