8. “At the heart of the movement toward 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 knowledge.”
-The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
