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.
