Liberalism versus Democracy? Schooling Private Citizens… : DASH Story 2013-10-14
Story content
As someone who has had the privelge to attend school, I have enjoyed many years of access to scholarship via my university affiliations. Throughout these years, I have acquired a deep appreacitaion for research; more importantly, as a teacher, I need to remain cognizant of current research in order to best serve my students using pedagogical practices based in research. With the advent of the internet, massive online open courses, and citizen science intitaives, we live in a time when the dissemination and construction of knowldege should be and can be an endeavour open to the public. However, this is not the case; most research articles are not open access, and as a result, the walls of academia remain closed-off to those who are not as priveledged as I am. Thank you to DASH for taking a step in the right direction!
