Abstract
The "open learning" is based on the concept of free knowledge and inspired by the movement of "Free Software". Its purpose is to get anyone in the world with Internet access to scientific, academic and cultural human knowledge, freely available, without economic, technical or legal restriction. The "Open Educational Resources" are digital materials that provide non-discriminatory access and can be adapted, revised and shared. They consist of learning content, technology tools and implementation resources. The MIT initiative, called OpenCourseWare (OCW), was a pioneer in the online publication of teaching materials for subjects belonging to different official degrees from MIT, with free access through the Web. The practical realization of the principles surrounding the "Open Educational Resources" requires the use of computer applications that facilitate the creation of products under open formats and standards. The universities meet in free software solutions for your learning management, especially through the so-called LMS (Learning Management Systems) and Moodle. Also, performance of groups developing free software offers lessons for innovation in higher education.Downloads
