Building an Open Knowledge Ecosystem

The open data and open knowledge ecosystem involves the inter-relationship of codependent parts. In this session we talk about the fundamental building blocks of the open movement. We explore what it means to be open and the technology, people, policy and environment that enable this ecosystem to sustain itself. We will touch on the topics of open data, open access, open education resources, open source, open science, open hardware and creative commons. We will also explore how these building blocks can be used to foster innovation in education through collaboration.
