3. “Openness is really the only means of doing education.”
“If there’s no sharing, if I’m not sharing what I know, if I’m
not giving you feedback, if I’m not engaging in this give and
take with you there is no education. Education is inherently
an enterprise of openness and sharing and generosity.”
David Wiley, Associate Professor of
Instructional Psychology and Technology,
Brigham Young University

4. The Open Movement
“… the open movement covers open source developments
in technology, software and standards, open content and
knowledge, and it includes open educational practice.

5. The principles underlying all these areas of activity are
based on the idea that opening up our work to others’
incremental improvements and insights can generate much
better materials technologies and ideas with wider use and
application, than in closed environments, where input and
use are restricted.”

17. “At the heart of the movement towards open educational resources
is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a
public good and that technology in general, and the WorldWide
Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone
to share, use and re-use it.”
