Information economy philosophy in universal education. The Open Educational Resources (OER): Technical, socioeconomics and legal aspects

Abstract:

According to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's definition[1], Open Educational Resources (OER) are based on the philosophical view of knowledge as a collective, social product. In consequence, it is also desirable to make it a social property. Terry Foote, one of the Wikipedia project's chairperson emphasize this: "Imagine a world in which ever y single person is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge "[2]. The importance of open educational resources (OERs) has been widely documented and demonstrated and a high magnitude impact is to be expected for OERs in the near future. This paper presents on overview of OERs and its current usage. Then, the paper goes into detailed some related aspects. Which is the impact, in socioeconomic terms, of OER, especially for the less developed? Which legal aspects influence the diffusion and use of OER? And, which are the technical resources needed for them?. © 2008 IEEE.
