Abstract
‘Openness’ is a central contested value of modern liberalism that falls under different political, epistemological and ethical descriptions. In this chapter, we employ ‘openness’ to analyze the spatialization of learning and education. We discuss dimensions of openness and ‘open education’ (Peters & Britez, 2008), beginning with a brief history of openness in education that focuses on the concept of the Open University as it first developed in the United Kingdom during the 1960s, a development we dub Open University 1.0.
