Thus, you should also include Essay, Fill-in-the-Blank, and other open-ended question formats that require a student not just to deduce (or guess) the correct answer but to apply their knowledge and rhetorical reasoning — or, in the case of mathematics, to prove they can actually perform the computations effectively.

Open access journals (and there are several alternative funding models that support these) are the best way to address these problems. They open content up to be read by a much larger audience, and in my personal experience, they turn around reviews and publish sugnifcantly quicker than the standard traditional closed journals.

Why an Open Educational Resources Model Means More Opportunities for All Learners. Take the movement for Open Educational Resources, or OER, for example. Based on the idea of open access, OER is the free, immediate, online use of available research articles with re-use rights. OER for Precedent. Our system is broken.

Learning is opening up like never before. Open learning was originally used to describe the opening up on education to previously disenfranchised individuals - those who had not followed the traditional pathways to education. The British Open University for example, was nicknamed 'the university of the second chance'.
