This document summarizes Joe McArthur's presentation on open access and open education. It discusses the high costs of academic journals, how most research is publicly funded, and the two main paths to open access publishing through open access journals or self-archiving. Open access provides benefits like increased citations and supports the idea that knowledge should be openly shared on the internet. Open educational resources are also discussed as teaching materials that can be freely used and modified under open licenses. The presentation encourages support and participation in open access and open education initiatives.
