Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura
“If the world community’s special concern is to overcome the digital divide in order to build knowledge societies, then this is precisely what UNESCO is all about. One of our core missions is to promote the free exchange of ideas and knowledge; to maintain, increase and disseminate knowledge through our work in education, the sciences, culture and communication.”

Three great strengths of OER
• Open (Free) for viewing on the web – equalization of opportunity for access of knowledge
• Open for downloading, and modifying (use and reuse) –personalization, cooperation, cultural and linguistic appropriateness, innovation and creativity
• Ability to rapidly loop materials (continuous improvement) – many small contributions

“…give teachers and learners everywhere the ability to access and human rights share teaching materials, scholarly publications, scientific works…thereby achieving economic efficiencies and raising the quality of education through a noble and global endeavor.”
