ABSTRACT
Imagine a world in which every resource produced by every teacher and every student was available to every other teacher and student. Would that be a ‘good thing’? It would certainly be better than a world in which nothing was shared and every teacher had to write their own textbooks, develop their own case studies, produce their own diagrams, videos and conceptual models. Yet most people reading the first sentence would probably hesitate and say ‘that depends…’ What does it depend on? It depends on access, organization, structure, context, support, relationships, communication, cost and many other aspects.
