Hi there fellow Open Educators,
This article from the Hewlett Foundation came out right after Open Education week:
Exploring the Future of
OER<https://hewlett.org/exploring-the-future-of-open-educational-resourc…
I think it is worth a reading: it talks about scale and numbers from a historic
perspective and it begins to open the door for conversations about how the focus is
changing towards open pedagogy and giving both faculty and students agency in the
teaching and learning transactions:
"While scale and access have been the focus of OER's initial growth, we see
considerable interest and opportunities for OER to enhance student and teacher agency. We
are at a point in time when we can begin to more deeply explore questions about how open
education can engage learners who come to school with different experiences, needs, and
interests."
These posts are a series of post that the HF is making to engage the community in deeper
thinking and exploreing the future of open resources in education. So, if you have any
strong opinions, feel free to participate!
Cheers,
Rosario
