Today, a topic that could question our own practices and conceptions: the links between sharing and colonialism. To address this issue, we are pleased to welcome Mpine Makoe (@290896) from the University of South Africa, as well as Darrion Letendre (@Darrion) and Robert Lawson (@rlawson780) from NorQuest College in Alberta, Canada. Each in turn provide us with their thoughts on how open education can involve a certain form of colonialism, and what approaches should be considered and explored to overcome this obstacle.
