- Openness in education refers to making educational materials like textbooks, courses, and resources freely available and allowing them to be reused, revised, remixed, and redistributed. - When educational materials are openly shared, expertise can be given without being given away as knowledge is nonrivalrous. This unprecedented sharing allows for education to occur on a greater scale than ever before. - Analytics of student interaction data from open educational resources and courses can help identify struggling students and curricular areas needing improvement, enabling continuous quality improvement of education through an ongoing cycle of assessment and refinement.
