In this presentation he  shows how his &#8220;WE-ALL-LEARN&#8221; model helps make sense of the role of  various technologies in open education, including open courseware, open  source software, open access journals, open educational resources, and  open information communities. As part of this, he will discuss e-books,  podcasts, streamed videos, online learning portals, social networking  tools like Facebook and Ning, YouTube videos, wikis, and virtual  worlds.\u00a0 Bonk also addresses important questions about the quality of  such contents, and how those without Internet access still benefit  immensely from these open learning tools and resources. The economic  world of Friedman may be flatter, but the educational world is  definitely more open than is was a decade or even a few years ago. Open  up and enjoy it!
