William and Flora Hewlett Foundation,[16] which was the main financial supporter of open educational resources in the early years and has spent more than $110 million in the 2002 to 2010 period, of which more than $14 million went to MIT.[2] The Shuttleworth Foundation, which focuses on projects concerning collaborative content creation, has contributed as well. With the British government contributing £5.7m,[27] institutional support has also been provided by the UK funding bodies JISC[28] and HEFCE.[29]

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.

Gleichzeitig muss Bildung grundsätzlich für alle da sein, muss sie allen zugänglich sein, und wenn es eine ernsthaft demokratische Seite der Digitalisierung gibt, dann besteht die weniger im Dauertwittern eigener Befindlichkeiten, womöglich live vom Rednerpult des Bundestages, als vielmehr darin, dass Informationen, auch wissenschaftliche, frei zugänglich sind und ausgetauscht werden können, natürlich unter Beachtung der Copyright-Regeln. Aber es darf niemand mehr dumm bleiben, weil ihm die Quellen versperrt sind und er oder sie gar nicht erst zu fragen wagt.
-
Wir müssen den Willen haben, diese Entwicklung selbst zu gestalten. Andernfalls werden uns die Googlies und die Apple Cores, die Courseras und Udacities dieser Welt die Bedingungen diktieren, unter denen wir in Zukunft leben, arbeiten und lernen – ein Szenario, das ich für eine demokratische Gesellschaft für schlicht nicht akzeptabel halte.

Und wer sich jetzt nicht überlegt, wie er sich in Position bringt, dem droht möglicherweise in einigen Jahren dasselbe Szenario, das wir etwa jetzt in der Verlags- und Buchhandelsbranche erleben: dass er nämlich die Vorgaben eines kommerziellen Plattforminhabers akzeptieren muss, um mit seinen Angeboten überhaupt noch wahrgenommen zu werden. Um es ganz klar zu sagen: ich möchte nicht, dass irgendwann einmal ein internationaler Monopolist diktiert, welche Inhalte an Hamburger Hochschulen gelehrt werden und welche nicht.

wir haben in den vergangenen Monaten sehr intensiv mit allen staatlichen Hamburger Hochschulen – Universität, TU, HAW, HCU, HfMT, HfbK – und mit dem Multimedia Kontor Hamburg darüber diskutiert, wie die Grundzüge einer gemeinsamen Digitalisierungsstrategie aussehen könnten
-
Es geht um die Steigerung der Qualität von Lehre und Studium; es geht darum, die Hochschulen in den Stand zu versetzen, mit hohen Studierendenzahlen und einer zunehmenden Heterogenität Ihrer Studentenschaft umzugehen; es geht darum, national und international die besten Köpfe für die Hamburger Hochschulen zu gewinnen.

Eine Vorreiterrolle Hamburgs bei der Entwicklung qualitätsgesicherter OER, open educational ressources
-
Wir wollen, dass möglichst alle Materialien, die im Rahmen der „Hamburg Open Online University“ entwickelt und verwendet werden, einen geprüften OER-Standard haben. Das Ziel ist, dass sich „OER – made in Hamburg“ zu einem anerkannten Markenzeichen entwickeln und überall auf der Welt Anwendung finden.
-
Es geht um Inhalte, Didaktik, Recht, Governance, Support, Qualifizierung und – eher zuerst als zuletzt – Qualität
-
Wir wollen sehen, dass wir dies nicht nur für unsere Hamburger Hochschulen praktizieren, sondern – über unser Beispiel – es auch zu einem bundesweiten Standard machen.
-
dass alle staatlichen Hamburger Hochschulen gemeinsam angetreten sind, um dieses Ziel zu erreichen: beim Strategiewettbewerb „Hochschulbildung und Digitalisierung“ des Stifterverbands für die deutsche Wissenschaft.
-
Dass künftig jeder und jedem ein breiter Fundus unterschiedlichster Materialen zur individuellen Bildung zur Verfügung steht, dass sich künftig jede und jeder auch aktiv an Lernprozessen mit unterschiedlichsten Partnern beteiligen kann
-
Insbesondere für Schülerinnen und Schüler wird sich hier ein breites Anwendungsfeld ergeben. Sie können sich frühzeitig orientieren, Anregungen für ein späteres Studium gewinnen, eigene Qualifikationen überprüfen und wenn nötig nacharbeiten
-
Brückenangebote den Übergang zwischen Schule und Studium erleichtern und so die Abbrecherquoten minimieren
-
natürlich wird dieser Prozess zusätzliche Ressourcen erfordern, die die Stadt den Hochschulen zur Verfügung stellen wird
