,----[ Quote ]
| A new class of knowledge commons is poised to explode in coming
| years, joining the ranks of free and open source software, the
| Creative Commons, Wikipedia and others as a coherent social
| movement. The new groundswell goes by the name of "Open Educational
| Resources," or OER, and it includes course materials, digital
| repositories, collaborative websites for developing teaching
| materials, wikis for students and scholars working together,
| multimedia presentations, and much more.
