12. UNESCO defined OER as material used to support education
that may be freely accessed, reused, modified and shared by
anyone (2011/07/14).
The phenomenon of OER is an empowerment process, facilitated by
technology in which various types of stakeholders are able to interact,
collaborate, create, and use materials and pedagogic practices, that are
freely available, for enhancing access, reducing costs, and improving the
quality of education and learning at all levels (Kanwar, Balasubramanian &
Umar 2010).
14. OER University
Who we are
The Open Educational
Resource (OER)
university is a virtual
collaboration of like-
minded institutions
committed to creating
flexible pathways for OER
learners to gain formal
academic credit
15. Emergent themes
Shift from development to OER
practices
Broader notion of open practices –
open learning, teaching and research
Use of social and participatory media
to foster OER communities

44. Rethinking and transformation
From Sage on the stage…To Guide on the
side…To Meddler in the middle
The question is NOT
on how do we work with digiital
media in education,
but rather how do we work with
learning in a digital world/community
From content to context
45. Driving forces for transformation…
Branding /instant reputation
Digitalization
Technical innovations
Internationalization
Collaborate to compete
Global branding, or instant
recognition
Social innovation
Strategic partnerships
“Learn on the go”
48. What it all means
There can be no doubt that HE is the key to a
well-qualified workforce. And a well-qualified
workforce makes for a stronger, productive
economy. But it all starts with access. If
students are still forced to operate in ancient
educational model, how can they be expected
to participate successfully in the modern
market and society.
49. Robust online course offerings are not
threat
Harward, MIT, Stanford or other prestigue Universities are
not going anywhere. There are still millions of students who
need and want that we think of as traditional education.
….But millions more are not be in served by that style of
education – and the real threat is that they will never be
able to improve thier skills or make their lifes better.

Quality can enhance when use the very best of what is out there and available and often for free and peer reviewedIn research we are used to talk about peer review, but not that often in educationTowards any university, any content, any studentProbably the role of the University will shift to an assessing and credentialling institution or just for elite students and for researchhttp://img.scoop.it/_kg6c2d18VvkH-C1_rudTzl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVaiQDB_Rd1H6kmuBWtceBJ
