Abstract

Creative economy and open education seem to be two different fields but have a common emphasis on “open knowledge”. Moreover, open knowledge can contribute to political economic development. This section includes discussion of open knowledge and how education promotes open knowledge. In addition, peer-to-peer (P2P) relations play an important role in open knowledge production by constructing collective networks in order to create knowledge and innovations.
