JF's Post: "In his wonderful article, OERs: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (thanks Sonny), Tony Bates writes "Is it good to share content? Yes, of course, but don’t confuse it with learning." BINGO!!!!!!! I have always had a niggling problem with sharing as learning. Sharing content can be an important preliminary step in the learning process but it does not constitute or equate to learning. Learning is construction, questioning, reflective and expository writing and experimentation. Learning is as skill and a product much like the wave-particle duality."
My response: I would like to put forth the argument that dynamic (not static) sharing CAN constitute learning. I think it would depend on how the sharing occurs, and how one defines sharing. Dynamic sharing, where one (the sharer and/or the *sharee*) is engaged in questioning, debating, experimenting with, writing about, remixing, re-creating, reusing, revising, re-distributing...and so on - can constitute learning in the sense that s/he is actively engaged with the content.
