2. The disruptive energies of ICTs & IP networks
The future of the learning process lies in seamless
access to educational resources most of them
available through ICTs and IP networks.
As ICTs and IP networks inherently produce and
communicate copyrighted material in their normal
process of operation, they activate the potential for
copyright infringement.
We need to encourage the existing copyright legal
framework to accommodate the disruptive energies of
ICTs & IP networks in a way that promotes access to
educational resources.

3. Copyright law in Greece
L.2121/1993 as amended.
Section IV of Law 2121/1993 (articles 18 et al.—
Limitations on the economic right).
In most cases of reproduction of copyrighted
material, unless permission is granted by the intellectual
property right-holder, you are not allowed to reproduce
or communicate copyrighted material. Permission for
exercising the right for reproduction of copyrighted
material must be granted in writing otherwise it is null
and void.

4. The Creative Commons Main Idea & Vision
Main idea: the need to ask copyright owners whether
they are willing to agree and give permission in print for
their material to be shared through a generic license
that acts as permission granted in advance.
Vision: a space in the Internet where people could
share and reuse copyrighted material without the fear
of being sued.

8. Creative Commons
as tools for Open Educational Resources
CC: the most notable tools in the arsenal of legal
means seen as implementation resources for pushing
ahead the agenda of Open Educational Resources.
While “open” means “without cost”, it does not follow
that it also means “without conditions”.
OER: conditional use of educational resources
available in an information commons.

9. Open Educational Resources
UNESCO 2002: the open provision of educational
resources in the form of digitized materials, offered
freely and openly for educators, students, and selflearners to use and reuse for teaching, learning, and
research, which are accessible mainly through ICTs and
IP networks and are available for consultation, use and
adaptation by a community of users for noncommercial purposes.

10. Open Educational Resources
Learning content: full courses, courseware packs,
content modules, collections, journals etc.
Tools: software to support the development, use and
reuse, delivery of content, searching mechanisms for
locating content, learning management systems,
content development tools, communities for content
aggregation etc.
Implementation resources: Creative Commons
licenses which promote open publishing of materials,
design principles and policies that mandate the
provisions upon which content is accessible and
available for use, reuse, adaptation etc.

19. Recommendations for the development of
Open Educational Resources in Greece
1.
Each institution should develop and publish its
policy on open access, clearly declaring its
objectives and interests in providing materials by
this means.

institutional open access policies, outlining
different models of open access and
providing means for determining and
reviewing the categories of materials which
are to be made available by open access
and the scope of open access which is to
be afforded, in terms of classes of persons
who are to be allowed access and the
external rights granted to access and reuse
of the materials.
