Learning in a digital age/LiDA103/Defining OER/Ownership of ideas
From WikiEducator
“ | If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. | ” |
—George Bernard Shaw |
“ | Today, the process for capitalizing - either financially or socially - on innovation and creativity is staggering under the strain of a digital revolution of a speed and scale never seen before. At a time when many of their most valuable assets can be shared and exchanged easily, businesses and governments [are] scrambling to redefine who owns what. | ” |
—James Kanter, New York Times, 2005[1] |
This sub-section on the ownership of ideas sets the context for our global mission to return to the core business of education, which is to share knowledge freely.
