"Democratized access is the real payoff in electronic records and
materials. It may be harder to preserve and organize digital
materials than it is paper records, but, once that is accomplished,
they can be made accessible to vastly greater numbers of people.
To open up the archives and libraries in this way democratizes
historical work. Already, people who had never had direct access
to archives and libraries can now enter. High school students are
suddenly doing primary source research; genealogy has exploded
in popularity because you no longer have to travel to distant
archives."

"OER are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the
public domain or have been released under an intellectual property
license that permits their free use or re-purposing by others.3 Open
educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules,
textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools,
materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge."

The most successful educational uses of digital technology fall into three broad
categories:
- Inquiry-based learning utilizing primary sources available on CD-ROMS
and the World Wide Web, and including the exploration of multimedia environments
with potentially fluid combinations of text, image, sound, moving images in
presentational and inquiry activities, involving different senses and forms of
expression and addressing different learning styles;
- Bridging reading and writing through on-line interaction, extending the
time and space for dialogue and learning, and joining literacy with disciplinary and
interdisciplinary inquiry;
- Making student work public in new media formats, encouraging
constructivist pedagogies through the creation and exchange of knowledge-
representations, and creating opportunities for review by broader professional and
public audiences.
