Open education: sharing, reducing barriers, increasing access
Open educational practices (OEP):“all activities that open up access to educational opportunity, in a context where freely available online content and services
[…] are taken as the norm.“ http://bit.ly/OERterminology
• “teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for everyone to use […] Examples of OER include: full courses, course modules, syllabi, lectures, homework assignments, quizzes, lab and classroom activities, pedagogical materials, games, simulations, and many more resources contained in digital media collections from around the world.” www.oercommons.org
• “Resources that are specifically licenced to be used and re-used in an educational context” http://bit.ly/oerinfokit
“Sharing is a relationship for cyclical advantage, not altruism, and students will keep resources to themselves in order to gain competitive advantage.”Lorna Campbell reporting on OER13 http://bit.ly/11uMzpX
“…little is known about what lifelong learners are doing with OER resources”Allison Littlejohn, OER4Adults http://bit.ly/11RsCIM
“While many students made use of OER, it was much more common for them to be used when they were endorsed or required by their teachers.”
