 * IPCC report on climate change, critical that people don't look at the underlying basis for arguments that world is warming; "my dad says it's cooling" (as-opposed to gaining understanding of how report conclusion arrived at); comparison of 'popping the bonnet' on a car with looking at the edit history of a wiki article, seeing any edit war, the list of edit summaries. Compares conference as same; look under the bonnet on use of wiki in education. Digital literacy.
 * skills for the knowledge economy
 * open practice, and 'how open is it'?
 * Wikimedia projects 'most-open'
 * open access to research


 * learn as producers; "learn more in writing a textbook, as-opposed to reading a textbook" - Wikiversity.
 * Mass learning - hype? distant learning under a different name? Availability of freely-available online education.
