10 Dimensions of Open Education by European Union 2016

Open Learning – sharing and openness

“The underlying forces driving the development of open education are the basic human needs to learn and grew throughout every stage of life.” P. Blessinger and J. P. Anchan (2015) Open Education has accompanied me in my professional environment for several years. We deal mainly with conceptional and practical aspects of creating, sharing, and reusing […]

I’m all for open education, so why is it so difficult to make my own courses open?

Picture by opensource.com Open educational resources (OER) are “teaching, learning, and research resources that, through permissions granted by the copyright holder, allow others to use, distribute, keep, or make changes to them.” (BCcampus Open Education Self-Publishing Guide).

Topic 1

I finally get around to reflecting on the first topic of the course. Well, in truth, I have reflected on the topic all along, but simply haven’t gotten around to write anything down until now.

Topic 2: Openness and sharing – do these keys really unlock that door?

Dear reader, The second topic of our intensive ONL-course began with the Padlet exercise and discussion (https://padlet.com/alacre/ONL192T2; embedded below), where Kay Oddone and Alastair Creelman had posted a video on openness in education for us to watch (https://play.lnu.se/media/t/0_o3kepcds). The video was captivating, and I was very curious to learn more about the possibilities of openness […]
