Sandra Schaffert: Open Educational Resources as Facilitators of Open Educational Practices: Results and Recommendations of the EU-Project “OLCOS”
In the last few years Open Educational Resources (OER) have gained much attention. Experts who understand OER as a means of leveraging educational practices and outcomes define OER based on the following core attributes: the content is provided free of charge and liberally licensed for re-use in educational activities, the content should ideally be designed for easy re-use, open content standards and formats are being employed, and software is used for which the source code is available (i.e. Open Source software). From January 2006 to December 2007 Open e-Learning Content Observatory Services (OLCOS), a project co-funded by the European Commission under the eLearning Programme, explored how OER can make a difference in teaching and learning. The project aimed at promoting OER through different activities and products such as a European OER roadmap and OER tutorials. We present some results of the roadmap which provides an overview of the OER landscape and describes possible pathways towards a higher level of production, sharing and usage of OER. The roadmap emphasises that the knowledge society demands competencies and skills that require innovative educational practices based on open sharing and evaluation of ideas, fostering of creativity, and teamwork among the learners. Moreover, the roadmap provides recommendations on required measures and actions to support decision making at the level of educational policy and institutions.
