But arguably no other aspect of digital holds the promise of the open access (OA) philosophy and open educational resources (OER).
The Public Library of Science sums up the appeal of the open agenda rather neatly, saying: "Open access stands for unrestricted access and unrestricted reuse.

" It also looks as though the benefits of open access in HE could go beyond teaching and research. So far, so good. Panel. College 2.0: More Professors Could Share Lectures Online. But Should They? - Technology. By Jeffrey R. Young Charlottesville, Va. "Camera shy" is not the first phrase that comes to my mind for Siva Vaidhyanathan. The University of Virginia faculty member commands healthy fees for his lively presentations on media studies and law at conferences, and he has even appeared on The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.
But he's not sure if he should record his lectures—or if he does, whether he should share them freely online. An associate professor who focuses on digital media, Mr. Vaidhyanathan regularly teaches and writes enthusiastically about movements to make music, movies, and other creative works free online.

Recent changes to the infoKit Cookie statement Last Cookiweek David Kernohan, a JISC Programme Manager, commented in a Guardian article last week that Open Educational Resources are a radical idea that has now become mainstream. To try and condense some of the vast amount that has been learnt about the benefits of OER releases in the past 10 years, the Higher Education Academy and JISC have developed an InfoKit.
