From scarcity to abundance and a helping hand from the snowflake effect

The document discusses moving from scarcity of open educational resources to abundance through the "snowflake effect" of open sharing and reuse. It describes how the ARIADNE and Globe projects are connecting over 37,000 resources from various European countries to deal with the abundance and make resources more searchable and accessible through open standards and metadata. Interconnecting open resources at scale is needed to realize the full potential of the "snowflake effect" of open learning.
