 Open Access: is the
provision of free access to
peer-reviewed, scholarly and

irrevocable right of access to
copy, use, distribute,
transmit, and make derivative
works in any format for any
lawful activities with proper
attribution to the original
author.
 Open Educational
Resources: teaching, learning
and research materials in any
medium, digital or otherwise, that
reside in the public domain or have
been released under an open license
that permits no-cost access, use,
adaptation and redistribution by
others with no or limited restrictions.
Open licensing is built within the
existing framework of intellectual
