| The title of this book proclaims that the world is open and now we all can learn. In a global world, technological changes can affect individuals not just in Athens, Greece or in technological accelerators like Korea, but can quickly spread to educational systems in many countries and cultures. It is affecting educational systems as well as economic ones. In this book, I will detail 10 learning technology trends that make the world increasingly open for education. Those who read different versions of the opening book have come to grips with most or all of his 10 trends should have the basic building blocks for understanding the more open educational world. It is not a one-to-one match, however. The open educational world, however, is about a different set of openings; namely, pages of content, piping for that content to run through, and a participatory learning culture.
