abstract |
Enabled by ICTs, the open provision of educational resources (OER), for consultation,
use and re-modifcation by communities of users for non-commercial purposes, is associated
with a movement that emerged in the early 2000s and which has its roots on liberal
education and on the principle of justice located in transfer of non material goods.
Following the uptake of many institutional projects ranging from lecture podcasts,
curricular materials and free online courses - both complementing and challenging
the legitimacy of archives that reside in other public culture domains, as learning
resources - international NGOs, funding and educational policy bodies, have been working
towards standardizing the ways in which these resources are created and shared. Combining
notions of mediation with cultural political economy and the philosophy of education,
this paper aims to introduce a critique of the open access/content movement in education,
leading to three core paradoxes: a) a novel strand of techno-legal and cultural determinism
surrounding the education commons b) the simultaneous circumvention and endorsement
of institutional authorities in education; c) and the concurrent questioning and privileging
of a market-driven education economy. |
