Open academia

5 pillars of open academia. These pillars can be seen as the support for an open learning community to replace a closed "ivory tower".

The pillars are:

• open access
• open standards (including open document formats)
• open licensing - open to be shared and adapted
• open management - open and transparent governance
• open source software (or "free software," the free referring to software freedoms)

An "open academic" is therefore one who supports these five pillars, in practice.
