Open Educational Resources (OER) have the potential to solve global education crises by dramatically reducing education costs. Governments and universities need to take action to move the OER agenda forward. Governments should implement optimal OER policies and frameworks developed with universities. Universities should develop OER strategies and leadership for open education, partner with open and conventional universities, build competencies through research, and flip classrooms for personalized learning using OER. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have increased momentum for OER adoption.

3. What is ICDE?
• the leading global membership organization for open and
distance education
• an NGO official partner of UNESCO, and shares that agency’s
key aim – the attainment of quality education for all
• member focused – ICDE is an organization which will involve
members in decision making, in cooperative action and in
cooperative problem solving.
• transparent – Members will be able to follow the activities
and decisions of ICDE.
• ICDE believes that in pursuing education as a universal right,
the needs of the learner must be central.
• senior management in member institutions is actively
involved in ICDE

7. Open Educational
Resources
“... are digital learning resources offered online freely and
openly to teachers, educators, students and independent
learners in order to be used, shared, combined, adapted,
and expanded in teaching, learning and research.”
(OECD 2011)
“... are teaching, learning and research materials in any
medium that reside in the public domain and have been
released under an open licence that permits access, use,
repurposing, reuse and redistribution by others with no
or limited restrictions.”
(UNESCO 2011)
8. The vision
… At the heart of the movement toward Open
Educational Resources is the simple and
powerful idea that the world's knowledge is a
public good
… and that technology in general and the
Worldwide Web in particular provide an
extraordinary opportunity for everyone to
share, use, and reuse it.
Hewlett Foundation
9. ”For the first time in human history we
have the tools to enable everyone to
attain all the education they desire.”

to free learning.
10. Expectations to OER
“OERs have the potential to solve
the global education crisis and
contribute to sustainable economic
growth”
Sir John Daniel, former CEO for Commonwealth
of Learning and David Killion, US ambassador to
UNESCO said in Guardian in July 2012

14. Drivers for OER
• The benefits from Higher Education – a gold mine
• Demand for access to Higher Education
• Financial problems, costs
• Failure of the current educational system, drop
outs/push outs
• The need for innovation in HEI – innovation in
education
• Students

20. ICDE SCOP 2012 – a workings group´s
reflections on OER
o Quality assurance concerns – how do DE institutions which
are already scrutinized for being DE institutions ensure that
OER they adopt does not undermine their existing QA systems
(the answer is to ensure that they go through the same QA
mechanisms as other course materials)
o Cost recovery
o Locating OER - it is difficult for institutions to locate OER
that is appropriate for their needs (call for more work on
facilitating use of search facilities for OER).
21. From the UNESCO OER
Declaration
• Foster awareness and use of OER
• Encourage the development and adaptation of
OER in a variety of languages and cultural
contexts
• Encourage the open licensing of educational
materials produced with public funds.
22. MOOCs
”A massive open online course (MOOC) is a type
of online course aimed at large-scale
participation and open access via the web.
MOOCs are a recent development in the area of
distance education, and a progression of the
kind of open education ideals suggested by
open educational resources.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOOC
23. MOOC
Mania
MOOCs have not only
created a discussion on
disruptive change in HEI,
but also increased the
momentum of OER.
