Ankündigung zum Vortrag "OMG! OER! How big business fights open education in Poland, and how open education fights back!" by Michał "rysiek" Woźniak 

Jochen Robes: "Ein lesenswerter Report, der aus der Fülle von Berichten über Open Educational Resources (OER) heraussticht. Herausgeber ist eine niederländische Special Interest Group, die sich mit Blick auf den Hochschulbereich dem Thema OER widmet. Der Report versammelt 12 Artikel und kurze Spotlights, die aus verschiedenen Perspektiven (educational, content-related, technological, organisational) den aktuellen Stand der OER-Bewegung zusammenfassen. Dabei sparen die Autoren nicht mit kritischen Anmerkungen, was den Stand der konkreten Anwendung von OER-Materialien betrifft - sowohl in den Niederlanden, aber auch darüber hinaus. Wie in vielen Berichten der jüngeren Vergangenheit wird auch hier betont, dass "there is currently a transition from an emphasis on Open Educational Resources (OER) to one on Open Educational Practices (OEP). Whereas OER focus on how resources can be made available and stored for the long term, OEP have to do with how OER can be utilised in an education system in such a way as to bring about an improved learning experience." (S. 18) Ein weiterer, interessanter Artikel beleuchtet OER aus der Perspektive "content curation" und verbindet OER und Scoop.it! ("Content curation: a new way of monitoring "The Truth"?") Und an vielen Stellen wird eine Verbindung zwischen OER/ OEP und Massive Open Online Courses hergestellt!"

MILLIONS OF LESSONS LEARNED ON ELECTRONIC NAPKINS On the way to free(ing) education

"POERUP is carrying out research to understand how governments can stimulate the uptake of OER by policy means. We aim to convince decision-makers that in order to be successful with OER, they will have to formulate evidence-based policies based on looking beyond one's own country, region or continent, beyond the educational sector they look after."

How technology is transforming our system of education to generate equal opportunities for all.

The focus of the project is the creation of preconditions for a strong European/OCW framework.

(last updated 2010) Although the Open Educational Resources (OERs) movement has been developed almost a decade ago, Australian higher education sector seems to be still resisting this movement. This project intends to develop a "Feasibility Protocol" to enable and facilitate the adoption, use and management of OERs for learning and teaching within higher education (HE) institutions in Australia. This project will also explore how OERs will enhance teaching and learning, enable and widen participation for key social inclusion targets in higher education, promote lifelong learning and bridge the gap between non-formal, informal and formal learning in Australia. This is very important for the development of Australia education national and internationally because it will support educational institutions that are currently limited by the lack of guidance regarding OERs, speed up the process of appropriate adoption of OERs, and provide additional venues for universities to pursue innovative strategies to better support current students, attract new ones and be internationally recognised and competitive.
