1) The document discusses moving from scarcity to abundance of learning resources through connecting infrastructure like Ariadne, GLOBE, and standards to create globally interconnected resources.
2) It argues that abundance can act as a "motor for innovation" but the focus then needs to shift to personalized user experiences that treat each learner like a unique "snowflake."
3) Learning from users will help turn the potential problem of abundance into a solution by providing resources that are "just right" for each individual learner.

identity (people, content), dis-/re-aggregation,
IPR & copyright, packaging & format, user
tracking, vocabularies, and many more
But we are not making full use of what we have!
