    Kritik an Offenheit: Steht "Open" nicht mehr fuer Fortschritt? "Open" hat es als Schlagwort geschafft: es ist ein Wort geworden, mit dem man uns gerne vor dem Gesicht herumwedelt. Von "Open Society", einem Nachkriegskonzept des Philosophen Karl Poppers, ueber emanzipatorische Bewegungen wie Open Access ist es in den Mainstream gewandert und taucht heute in Wahlkampagnen und bei Geschaeftsstrategien auf. Doch ist Offenheit ueberhaupt noch fortschrittlich? Ist das Prinzip noch politisch brauchbar? Kulturwissenschaftlerin und Berliner Gazette-Autorin Mercedes Bunz kommentiert.

  •  
    "Welcome to the Open Educational Resources (OER) Policy Registry, a database of current and proposed open education policies from around the world. Here, anyone can easily share, update, and browse open education policies and legislation. In addition, we host supporting policy resources such as case studies and guides. The OER Policy Registry is being upgraded and migrated away from the CC Wiki. Please be patient while we make the transition. Scope We define OER policies as legislation, institutional policies, and/or funder mandates that lead to the creation, increased use, and/or support for improving OER. This registry is not a list of open projects, terms of use, or a registry of open access policies."

The OPAL Initiative | OPAL - 0 views

  • OPAL has been established through international organisations including UNESCO, ICDE and EFQUEL in order to establish a forum which works to build greater trust in using and promoting open educational resources. The project is part funded by the European Commission Education and Training Lifelong Learning Programme.
  • OPAL Initiative is a partnership between seven organizations including ICDE, UNESCO, European Foundation for Quality, the Open University UK, Aalto University and the Catholic University Portugal. It is led by the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany and partly funded by the European Commission.
  • The OPAL Initiative moves beyond the issue of access to open educational resources (OER), and focuses on innovation and quality through open educational practices (OEP). Existing approaches for fostering the use of OER have made achievements by focusing on building access to resources (MERLOT, MIT OpenCourseWare, Stanford iTunes,OpenLearn, Rice University, the UNESCO Open Training Platform, the UNESCO OER wiki) and licence models (Creative Commons). However, concerns over quality, the absence of trust on the part of learners and educators, and a lacking sense of ownership of the materials hinder wider acceptance of OER. OPAL seeks to build trust by establishing an environment for quality and Innovation through OEP.
