(in this case, probably fine). I can imagine some instructors feeling uncomfortable with all their feedback out there for anyone to see. It could create a <strong>lot </strong>more work for them! good point – i wonder, too, how instructors feel about that? (in this case, probably fine).

Students have their right to privacy but it's up to them whether or not they wish to wave that right and make the course even more transparent.

For research to be open. Yes, I agree. "people will only give honest feedback if they can do so anonymously." I think this assumption has got solid groundings. I had conducted various surveys in the past - in the 90s, in 2003, and this year and it was found to be "valid" in all cases. It would be interesting to verify this assumption using meta-research data though. People would generally feel easier/less risky in a "closed" learning or research environment. Why risking ourselves in public if there are implications on what we say, write or express in open space or media? "there may be something incredibly valuable in being in that position of feeling that pressure/risk. It might drive you in useful directions." Yes, that may be the benefit. Frances mentioned in her response to a blog post: "All of us should think very carefully about how we construct our online identities, remembering that this could become part of a future professional identity" So being fully open has a price to pay too. What motivate people to become fully open in networks? Thanks for your thought provoking post. John Great to learn your views on openness. For research to be open. Yes, I agree.
