Open or closed. Where is the limit? If the students submit all course assignments directly to me and have no discussion with peers, I would call it a one for a communication. Is it open because I let the students share with each other, or do I have to go outside the separated platform Canvas that is linked to the course? If I have unlocked Adobe Connect meetings, I still think I have a "closed education". I have never had a completely open course. I have, however, participated in many open courses.
Such great reflection - how open is open? How big a community has to be in order to qualify as open? In my PBL group they even discussed whether being all 100% open really is a positive thing to strive for? "Closing down" at times, is maybe a more responsible way to act?
