An interesting side-effect of taking learning out of exclusive institutions and into a free and open domain is that it starts to dissolve the hard-and-fast distinction between someone who is 'in education' and someone who is not. If anyone has access to any curriculum, anyone who takes an interest in it thereby becomes a student, regardless of age or a formal enrolment process.
This enables citizen-scientists, who in turn empower open collaborative projects. It removes the exclusivity of professions and opens up scientific and other knowledge to the citizenry as a whole.
