This is my 'picture' of open learning. Characteristics are:
- Information is less structured as you move outwards
- 'Wisdom' is structured into information as it moves inwards
- Learning is more formal as you move inwards
- Interaction is more intense as you move inwards
- Tools are more public and generic as you move outwards
- Cumulative value increases as you move outwards
- Individual value increases as you move inwards

Thanks for this. A useful visualisation, particularly the scaling (10s, 100s, 1000s etc) - I know it's only a guide, but it may help me explain to others what all this open learning malarky is about!New comment
I'd out one more dot smack in the middle and even give it a name. Take your pick, but Martin Weller might be one. I do think there is credence to the recognition of and following of leaders in their field - whatever and wherever this might be.
