One sentiment that really struck a chord in me was when one of the authors of this course said "we don't own knowledge, it belongs to everyone".
This led me to the learnings I have gathered through working with my Indigenous Australian colleagues at my university. It is taking a long time for the first nations peoples around the world to heal and bring their stories, knowledge and culture out into the open. While I do not claim to have full knowledge of how this is going, I do appreciate how storytelling, language, song, art transmit these ancient knowledges. It appears to me that sharing and transmitting knowledge in more open and connected ways is natural to being human. So distributed and networked education should be a natural transition from centralised seats of learning.
