abstract |
Increased interest in more open approaches to learning, in particular Open Educational
Resources is reflected in the programmes of international organisations, national
initiatives and the actions of individual institutions. However, while some see OER
as an indicator of the future of learning, others are much more sceptical and doubt
their long-term success. This paper considers the vision of OER as part of future
learning solutions in the society driven by technology and knowledge. Supported by
an examination of specific national contexts and linked to research from relevant
initiatives arguments in favour of using OER are outlined. These include their value
in both developing and developed countries, and flexible ways of use in structured
courses and in informal, learner-driven environments. This is balanced by highlighting
concerns that relate mainly to current issues of certification, quality and intellectual
property rights, but also potential problems such as the lack of instructor-learner
interaction and the dominance of OER initiatives from English-speaking universities.
The paper concludes that OER have an immense potential as long as the elements that
contribute to their success are identified and harnessed, and barriers effectively
dealt with. |
