Open Ed conference

I'm in Vancouver now, at the open Ed conference. It is my first time at this conference, but it is a well established group.

Gardner Campbell did an amazing keynote that can't really be adequately summarized. His basic idea was that there is a lot going on with open education, but that as it has gained traction, it has moved away from what it was all about. He went on to posit that real open education fostered a deep level of thinking that we rarely approach in higher Ed. He talked a little about this elusive level of deep thinking, noting that even giving examples of it would undermine our ability to think deeply about it.
