empowers contributions

from everywhere!

The best open educational

resources are created in contexts

in which they will be used,

supporting cultural integrity and

empowering people around the

world to participate in scholarly

conversations.

The educational community is built on sharing.

Open education fosters a culture of learning and collaboration, allowing educators and learners to develop new applications and contexts for the use of educational materials.

The best licenses for education enable

• Learner engagement

• Innovation

• Adaption to fit local needs

Licenses that don!t

permit derivative

works limit the

flexibility to

translate or modify

the work for an

educational

context, or to

distribute it in

alternate formats.
