Technology + Education
Open education ...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 reuse knowledge. - The
Hewlett Foundation
Open education is a mind-set; it's a way of working. You don't
produce openness, you are open.
