    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.

  • Die Bildungsverleger kritisierten auf ihrer Jahresversammlung speziell die Haltung von Ländern und Gemeinden, bei den Etats für Bildungsmedien immer weiter zu sparen
  • In 2008 war der Umsatz mit Schulbüchern und Bildungssoftware in den allgemein- und berufsbildenden Schulen um 4-5 % gesunken und fiel von 350 auf 333 Mio. € Branchenumsatz. Entscheidend dafür war ein Rückgang bei den privaten Schulbuchausgaben der Eltern und Schüler durch Änderungen der Lernmittelfreiheit - wie die Tatsache, dass die staatlichen Ausgaben bundesweit nicht entsprechend angehoben wurden.
  • Besonders wichtig für die Bildungsverlage ist ein effektiv funktionierendes Urheberrecht - das sie indes bedroht sehen durch laufende Forderungen nach open-access-Regelungen, nach Ausweitung der Schrankenregelungen und nach kostenlosen Nutzungsmöglichkeiten.

  • 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.

    This is an edited collection of 39 original papers and as many commentaries and replies. The target papers and replies were written by senior members of the MIND Group, while all commentaries were written by junior group members. Lizenz ist leider etwas "undeutlich": "... free electronic resource for teaching. It therefore also contains a selection of online supporting materials, pointers to video and audio files and to additional free material supplied by the 92 authors represented in this volume. We will add more multimedia material, a searchable literature database, and tools to work with the online version in the future. All contributions to this collection are strictly open access. They can be downloaded, printed, and reproduced by anyone." http://open-mind.net/about
