"The SNSF already jointly signed the "Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities" with other scientific organisations in Switzerland in 2006. In doing so, it underlined its intention to support the efforts towards establishing Open Access - i.e. free access to scientific publications - in Switzerland."

"STELLA is an interactive and multilingual web portal for all people involved in science education who want to communicate experiences, cooperate, exchange ideas and thoughts on teaching methods and approaches."

"What is MIT OpenCourseWare? MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of MIT course materials that reflects almost all the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught at MIT. * OCW is not an MIT education. * OCW does not grant degrees or certificates. * OCW does not provide access to MIT faculty. * Materials may not reflect entire content of the course."

"Thema des SFEM 2009: Lernen mit "Web-Medien" Das SFEM ist ein Forum, welches von verschiedenen Organisationen unter dem Lead der Schweizerischen Stiftung für audiovisuelle Bildungsangebote, SSAB, ins Leben gerufen wurde. Zielgruppen Das SFEM führt Akteure und Entscheidungsverantwortliche aus Bildung, Wissenschaft, Wirtschaft, Medien, Verwaltung, Verbänden und Politik zu Expertengesprächen zusammen. Im Zentrum stehen Fragen der elektronischen Medien im Wissens- und Bildungsbereich. Das SFEM schafft Kontaktmöglichkeiten zwischen Anbietern und Nachfragern von Bildungsmedien, ermöglicht Synergien und trägt zu der in der Strategie des Bundesrates für eine Informationsgesellschaft in der Schweiz von 2006 geforderten Vernetzung aller Partner bei."

"This year at the 2009 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference we saw an increase in both international and corporate partner participation; standing ovations for two of our general session keynotes; an extremely active Twitter backchannel; fantastic presentations; participants engaging in new ways at the Thursday night event, such as Ignite!-inspired sessions and the Black Box Theatre improv; and numerous examples of you networking with your colleagues all throughout the conference space, making new contacts and connections for the coming year. Our full conference attendance boasted 3,700+, along with just under 2,400 exhibitor registrations. We also piloted our first annual online companion event, which ended up being a success thanks to great speakers and content, as well as valuable interaction with campuses across the world. ...

"The following describes each of the six main licenses offered when you choose to publish your work with a Creative Commons license. We have listed them starting with the most accommodating license type you can choose and ending with the most restrictive license type you can choose."

"Approximate Minimum Total CC Licensed Works as of December 2009: ~350 million"

"CC0 enables scientists, educators, artists and other creators and owners of copyright-protected content to waive copyright interests in their works and thereby place them as completely as possible in the public domain, so that others may freely build upon, enhance and reuse the works for any purposes without restriction under copyright. In contrast to CC's licenses that allow copyright holders to choose from a range of permissions while retaining their copyright, CC0 empowers yet another choice altogether - the choice to opt out of copyright and the exclusive rights it automatically grants to creators - the "no rights reserved" alternative to our licenses."
