Open Educational Resources

“Open Educational Resources (OERs)
are any type of educational materials
that are in the public domain or
introduced with an open license. The
nature of these open materials
means that anyone can legally and
freely copy, use, adapt and re-share
them.”
UNESCO

Open Pedagogy
Open pedagogy is a set of
teaching and learning practices
only possible in the context of
the free access and 5R (reuse,
revise, remix, redistribute, retain)
permissions characteristic of
open educational resources.
David Wiley (2013)

The amazing expansion of websites globally from 1994 to about 2000—was driven by
open access and individuals learning by reading other people's HTML code. The
web growth over those six years is probably the most significant distance
learning program the world has ever seen. One could say it was perhaps
the first “massive open online” learning phenomenon, occurring nearly two decades
before anyone ever heard of the idea of a MOOC (massive open online course).

“Open education is not limited to just open
educational resources. It also draws upon
open technologies that facilitate
collaborative, flexible learning and the open
sharing of teaching practices that empower
educators to benefit from the best ideas of
their colleagues.”
Cape Town Open Education Declaration, 2007

“The amount of data being collected is staggering. Ed tech
companies of all sizes, from basement startups to global
conglomerates, have jumped into the game. The most adept are
scooping up as many as 10 million unique data points on each child,
each day.

“Much of this data exists in software silos that are disconnected. But more and more, companies are
starting to push for the aggregation of student data into analytics tools that can be sold in turn back to the
school. Learning management system log-ins and duration of their LMS sessions. Blog and forum comment
history. Internet usage while on campus. Emails sent and received on via university email accounts. The
pages students read in digital textbooks. The passages they highlight.”
