What  is  Open  Educa*on?  

Open education encompasses resources, tools and practices that employ a framework of open sharing to improve educational access and effectiveness worldwide. Open Education combines the traditions of knowledge sharing and creation with 21st century technology to create a vast pool of openly shared educational resources, while harnessing today’s collaborative spirit to develop educational approaches that are more responsive to learner’s needs.

•  In 2008, George Siemens and Stephen Downes co-taught a class thought to be the first to use the term MOOC. The course, called “Connectivism and Connective Knowledge,” was presented to 25 tuition-paying students at the University of Manitoba and offered at the same time to around 2,300 students from the general public who took the online class at no cost.
