ABSTRACT
There is a story to be told about open source, open content, and open learning from the point of view of the person desiring access to these things, rather than from the point of view of the provider. This book is a collection of my writings on open educational resources and open access to learning.| Keywords | assessing OER sources · copyright · Creative Commons · OER debate · OER policy · OER reuse · open access · open education |
