This document outlines an innovation plan between Dutch higher education institutions to accelerate innovation in three shared ambitions: better job market connection, more flexible education, and smarter technology use. It focuses on developing digital and open learning materials. The plan runs from 2019-2023 and is funded with €3.8M annually. Regarding learning materials, the ambition is that by 2023 teachers and students can easily determine and use an optimal mix of materials. Actions include insight into optimal mixes, support models, a shared infrastructure, and greater open material sharing awareness. Results so far include studies on 2035 materials roles and current practices, as well as requirements for a sharing platform and an open pedagogy guide.

Action Plan
• Creating insight into how teachers and students achieve an optimal mix of
learning materials
• Develop models and toolkits to support teachers in determining an optimal
mix of learning materials
• Develop a digital infrastructure for sharing and finding open and closed
learning materials
• Working on a greater awareness and adoption of open sharing and re-use
of learning materials among teachers and students.

Adoption of OER
• Not an explicit goal
• Assumption:
– Connecting to practices of constructive alignment aiming to improve
these +
– OER as part of a mix of learning materials
– Will lead to larger adoption of OER by the early and late majority

Results 2019
• Three studies
– Shared image of learning and the role of learning materials in 2035
– Current practices of creating the optimal mix of learning materials
– Practices of reuse
• Requirements for (national) platform of sharing and finding (open)
resources
• White paper on practical handles for teachers for using Open Pedagogy
– Initiated and created by the Dutch SIG Open Education
