Summary:

"At present, with the increasing growing of the information and communication technologies in education due, among other things, to networks such as the Internet and the lower price and diversification of hardware devices, it is essential and necessary to develop educational contents in digital format. And much better if they are open!

But…. What are open contents?

To answer this question it would be better to review the definition made by UNESCO that you can find in the following link: What are Open Educational Resources (OERs)?, where we can read that it refers to any educational material or content in the public domain or with an open license that can be used, copied, changed and redistributed legally and freely without restrictions.

[...]

The unstoppable development of the information and communication technologies brings us closer to an interconnected world with multiple and different devices that do not understand about barriers or licenses, and where education will play a very important role.

Open content encourages the dissemination of information and the development of the knowledge society, so it is necessary to adopt systems that regulate the distribution and circulation of digital contents. And Creative Commons systems and licenses currently play, and are going to play, a very important role in education."
