Abstract
The developments of new technologies and open resources within society have fostered the new creation of different pedagogies including what we call Open Learning Systems (OLS). This article examines the shift from esoteric to open pedagogy and the consequent changes for education and knowledge creation. Traditionally, creative and ‘free’ thinking was confined to esoteric pedagogical traditions for reasons to do with persecution and censorship.
