Observed Score = True Score + Error
O = T + E
0.4 reliability…
Is act of O harming T?

Open Access Research
• “The means of communication should be held by the public, the very basis of how we connect should be a public utility. That principle we are trying to bring to research and scholarship.”
Teacher Discourse on How to Unlearn or Innovate is a Public Utility
For Learners
How to Engage in Inquiry Requires Connections
When learners are at the beginning of a journey,
it is the point they have the most to contribute.
