    On the theme of moving from access to practice...and ways to measure degree of implementation ... Article by Ulf-Daniel Ehlers in the Journal of Open, Flexible and Distance Learning... "examines the findings of the recent OPAL report Beyond OER: Shifting Focus from Resources to Practices. In doing so, it defines current understanding of open educational resources and open educational practices, and highlights the shift from open content to open practice. The article includes a framework for supporting open educational practices. The conclusions emphasise that open access is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the opening of education, and foreshadows ongoing moves toward changes in educational architectures that promote increased uptake of open educational resources and wider application of open education."

What Do We Mean By "Open"? - 0 views

  • I wonder about some of the recent MOOCs this way, for example. Sure, anyone can sign up so they're "open" in that sense. But the materials themselves often aren't openly licensed.

    The adjective "open" ostensibly makes educational resources more easily accessible. But "open" can mean a lot of things: resources that are free; research that is publicly available on the Web and indexed by search engines; courses that offer open enrollment; materials that are openly licensed; content and code that can be copied and modified and redistributed. "Open" can mean "transparent." Open versus proprietary. Open versus closed.
