Material Detail

This is a chapter to the fourth edition of Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology, to be published by Pearson.

This chapter tells the story of the negative impact of copyright on education and the emergence of open educational resources as a response. Work in the field of open educational resources is grounded in a specific understanding of the nature of education; specifically, the notion that education is sharing. It behooves us therefore, at the outset, to be specific about what it means to share, and how it is that education is an instance of sharing.
