Definition of Openness

I posted yesterday essentially wondering what the definition for high order universal literacy looks like. Tonight I'm wondering about another one of Drucker's specifications for the accountable school: openness. Drucker (1993) said:

It has to be an open system, accessible both to highly educated people and to people who for whatever reason did not gain access to advanced education in their early years (p. 198).

David Wiley posted his ELearn 2008 presentation on Openness and the Disaggregated Future of Education. To the point of openness, I appreciated being able to go to youtube to watch the videos he included in the slide show that only appeared as stills. Wiley's presentation addressed two of the specifications Drucker outlined. Clearly the one on openness quoted above, but also this one:

Schooling can no longer be a monopoly of the schools. Education in the post-capitalist society has to permeate the entire society. Employing organizations of all kinds -- businesses, government agencies, non-profits -- must become institutions of learning and teaching as well. Schools, increasingly, must work in partnership with employers and employing organizations (p. 198).

I believe this quote helps explain "the disaggregated future of education." But just what is the form of openness that best serves us moving forward? What is the form of educational competition moving forward?
