The document discusses open education policy and outlines an agenda for a workshop on the topic. It poses several questions about the value and need for open education policies and the role of government agencies and commercial interests. The workshop would involve inventing a fictional country and having delegates act as the government to develop an open education policy by hearing recommendations from presenters acting as government ministers. The agenda then lists the presenters and timing of their sessions along with time for discussion. The document is made available under a Creative Commons license.

From Open Practice to Open Policy

3. From Open Practice to Open Policy
• What, if any, is the value of open education policy?
• Do institutions need open education policies?
• Should government agencies play a role in the
development of open education policy?
• Are there conflicts between commercial interests and
market forces, and open education policy and practice?
• How can open education initiatives be nurtured and
sustained?
• And what do we mean by “open education” anyway?!

5. David Kernohan said…
Why not invent a country and create an
open education policy for it? We treat the
delegates as the government of said
country, and we each present what we have
done making recommendations for the
policy. At the end we ask the "government"
to discuss and reach a conclusion.
