6. “Open education is about sharing,
reducing barriers and increasing
access in education. It includes free
and open access to platforms, tools
and resources in education (such as
learning materials, course materials,
videos of lectures, assessment tools,
research, study groups, textbooks,
etc.)…”
7. “…Open education seeks to create a
world in which the desire to learn is
fully met by the opportunity to do
so, where everyone, everywhere is able
to access affordable, educationally and
culturally appropriate opportunities to
gain whatever knowledge or training
they desire.”
