Hi Abel and all,

I agree, that is great book to read, and it is good complement to his earlier book "The Digital Scholar: How Technology Is Transforming the Scholarly Practice". "The Battle of Open" critically discusses more recent developments in openness, especially MOOCs and narative that developed arround them.

I am still enjoying the reading of it and I hope it is/will be the same for many in the open education/OER community.

Best regards,

Bernard
