"I'd like to express the value of an open platform that we support here at TRU via the most convincing form of argument I can think of, which is sharing some work it allows our community to do," writes Brian Lamb. What follows is a tour-de-force article filled with examples and illustrations of some of the best work in ed tech there is. It's hard to imagine someone being sceptical about the present and future of the field after looking through this list. But the approach is important. "What I hope comes across is that an open platform is a powerful toolkit that only gets more potent with each additional use," writes Lamb. " I also know that this approach is not exactly fashionable in learning tech these days... but this exercise reminds me that when given the choice many people will see value in a platform that doesn't exist to extract value from them."
