Open licensing, Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Access came first. Now, increasingly, academics and researchers are making Open Science and Open Data integral to discussions about scholarly communication. Rather than segmenting them, many practitioners use the phrase “Open Knowledge.” Much of this primer is focused on open access although open licensing, open science, and OER are also discussed. It is meant to complement work carried out at OER Africa on OER and intellectual property rights/copyright.

This resource guide is a compendium of the individual handbooks that were prepared for the AgShare university partners. It is subdivided into sections, such as lecture materials, student readings, websites, and video.
