Gráinne Conole: Policy for Open Educational Resources @gconole

"The POERUP project follows on nicely from OPAL and is interested in focusing on the policy debate around OER and their associated practices.  In particular, we aim to •stimulate uptake of OER by policy through derivation of evidence-based policies. This will include studying end-user–producer communities, a set of country reports and a series of in-depth European case studies (and some selected case studies worldwide)."

[EU] Commission presents new Rethinking Education strategy

[EU] Commission presents new Rethinking Education strategy | A New Society, a new education! | Scoop.it

"Digital learning and recent trends in Open Educational Resources (OER) are enabling fundamental changes in the education world, expanding the educational offer beyond its traditional formats and borders. New ways of learning, characterised by personalisation, engagement, use of digital media, collaboration, bottom-up practices and where the learner or teacher is a creator of learning content are emerging, facilitated by the exponential growth in OER available via the internet. Europe should exploit the potential of OER much more than is currently the case. This requires good computer skills, but some Member States are still lagging behind as seen in the Education and Training Monitor 2012, with 9 Member States with over 50% of 16-74 year olds with no or low computer skills. While the use of ICT in education and training has been high on the policy agenda, critical elements are not in place to enable digital learning and OER to be mainstreamed across all education and training sectors. A coherent strategy at EU level could address the scope, size and complexity of the challenges in support of actions of the Member States and the entire chain of stakeholders."
