  • 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.

  • there has never been a more important time to support teachers
  • this year marks the tenth anniversary of a project I fund personally, separately from the foundation
  • the OER Project
  • free online courses and professional development for educators
  • Although OER courses won’t solve every problem that the pandemic has caused for schools, they’re an important part of making sure teachers get the support they deserve—and students get the high-quality curriculum they need—in such difficult times.
  • there’s nothing new about the concept of OER
  • Every teacher who has ever downloaded a worksheet from Pinterest has used an open educational resource
  • complete courses, including the equivalent of online textbooks for students, coupled with instructional support and professional development for teachers
  • first two courses, Big History and World History, have reached more than 1 million students and 20,000 teachers around the world
  • Given the success we’ve seen, I’m quite optimistic about the broad impact that OER materials can have in education
  • We would love for many others to get involved and keep raising the quality of the digital tools that teachers can use. A great goal for the entire field would be to create courses and professional development for every subject and every grade. The potential here is enormous.
  • For one thing, regardless of what course or grade you’re talking about, the content needs to be developed by experts in the field and in classroom education
  • The OER Project was able to offer on-demand professional development, virtual training sessions, and an online community where teachers can share ideas and resources
  • It can be updated more frequently than print publications can
  • Courses should be created by educators and subject-matter experts, supplemented with professional development, and regularly improved with feedback from the teachers who use them

    Very good point, we should move away from the standard of printed educational books, after all in the modern world data is constantly updated so books should be revised with time.

  • Frei zugängliche Bildungsressourcen für die Sekundarstufe. Eine Analyse von deutschsprachigen Online-Angeboten und der Entwurf eines "OER Quality Index"
  • Tatsächlich gibt es viele Lehr- und Lernmaterialien für die verschiedensten Schulstufen und Fächer, die auf unterschiedlichsten Webseiten kostenfrei zugänglich sind. Mit dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden die Ergebnisse einer Analyse des Angebots von deutschsprachigen Online-Angeboten für die Sekundarstufe mit einem Schwerpunkt auf österreichische Anbieter vorgestellt.
  • Ein wesentliches Ergebnis ist dabei, dass es sich mehrheitlich nicht um tatsächlich „offene“ Bildungsressourcen handelt, da die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen (z.B. Verwendung eines entsprechenden Lizenzmodells) nicht gegeben sind.
