I think that the element of INCLUSION is really important. For me the adjective of 'open' has implications that cannot be forgotten or ignored. The part of this idea that I like the most is the importance of establishing digital inclusion transcending utilitarian limits. My view is that students are sometimes used for a political agenda and they are not given the guidance, time and scaffold they need to be digitally included. Nowadays inclusion is not so much about having or not having access to the internet but about what people do when they are connected. DIgital inequality is bigger than we think. It is complex and nuanced, all but not straitforward. It deserves a critical pedagogy so that at the end of the work every one is able to enter to that learnign space called open.
