This document discusses 10 years of open educational resources (OER) and recurrent issues and innovative practices. It summarizes several OER initiatives in Brazil from 2007-2012, focusing on using OER as a strategy to achieve national education priorities. It presents recommendations for OER development at six levels: quality control, policy, copyright, higher education sector, pedagogy and technology. It also discusses the OportUnidad project which aims to develop a common higher education area between Latin America and Europe while fostering open educational practices through a bottom-up approach from 2012-2014.

23. ‘The idea of redesigning something offered
by the OU is a little daunting, even if they
do have publishing/editing control. I will
probably limit myself to some key skills
modules where I can do less damage.’
Learner A

24. ‘You cannot actually do any damage
because your work is copy of the original’
Learner B
‘You may not do any damage but it is
still daunting all the same. I think most of
us have respect for other people´s text
and feel quite shy to meddle with it.
Perhaps a younger generation will feel less
inhibited?’
Learner C

25. Encourage the development and adaptation of
OER in a variety of languages
