Humans have evolved in and through tool-making and technology; it is part of who we have been, are, and our future
Push new boundaries/challenges in creative, flexibile use of technology (e.g. taking technology not just mobile but remote)
We already use considerable technology in OE, but:
Are very selective/restrictive in what technology we allow students
Tend to use it behind the scenes and not to incorporate it
We tend to privelege and use gear/clothing/cooking/tentage, etc. technologies but avoid/discourage communication and information technology - why?
Could be used to supplement/complement
Increasing recognition of the need to innovate and creatively/flexibility deliver education and training in the 21st century
Provides a conduit for integrating OE into the broader curriculum and communicating the value and nature of OE
Improving pedagogy, e.g., use of video for feedback/review/debriefing
