This panel will address key issues and provide empirically-grounded insights on learning
about, with, and through open educational resources (OER). Open educational resources
are educational materials that are freely shared by those who seek to learn and those
who seek to teach. OERs are viewed by many as a revolutionary idea that could create
more accessible, equitable education on a global scale; yet, the benefits and challenges
of OER adoption in practice are not yet understood. Many OER initiatives are pursuing
a vision of education as a 'public good', and international policy agendas on education
are shifting from the idea of simply providing access to content, towards the notion
of creating 'Open Participatory Learning Ecosystems'; these efforts have outpaced
our understanding of how educational systems behave when they become more open. Open
education requires further empirical investigation. Each of the individuals on this
panel brings expertise that speaks not only to understanding the potential value of
OER, but also to understanding barriers and challenges of OER adoption. Speakers will
cover issues on:
– Advocacy, policy & development of OER
– Social interfaces and the design of participation
– Mentoring and peer learning in Open Education environments
– Popular perceptions about OER, and attitudes towards sharing and creating OER content |
