This symposium stems from a long-time work group on Technology and Education. It was born out of a set of concerns on how OER can be accessed, reused, revised, remixed, and distributed effectively. The concerns are mostly based in two fields: first, a technical concern in the infrastructures necessary to produce and disseminate ever more flexible resources; second, cultural concern with the possibilities that are made available by technical 'openness: but nonetheless exclude the non-target audience from making use of these quality resources
