A short YouTube transcript debating Alec Couros’s (referred to here as “Alec Koros”) 2008 open online course. The speakers question whether making the course globally accessible and requiring students to create their own openly shared resources (using freely available tools) may have gone “too far.” Tone is skeptical and probing.

Resources?
Is that what they pay for? And what do.
They know? They're just students. Alec used almost exclusively freely available tools in his course.
Just like they used.
Back in Soviet Russia. It has even been suggested that Alec Koros may in fact be a Canadian. Alec Koros, don't you think it's time you explained your open doctrine?
