- 50. The time is right for new approaches
- 51. What is Open Education? Open Education encompasses resources, tools and practices that employ a framework of open sharing to improve educational access and effectiveness worldwide. Open Education combines the traditions of knowledge sharing and creation with 21st century technology to create a vast pool of openly shared educational resources while harnessing today’s collaborative spirit to develop educational approaches that are more responsive to learner’s needs.
- 52. Open Education Allows Higher Education to reconsider approaches to teaching and learning
- 53. Open Education Terms • Open Educational Resources • OpenCourseWare • Open Educational Practice • Open Textbooks = Free and Open
- 54. OER are teaching, learning, and research materials that permit their free use and re-purposing by others

Editor's Notes
- In regions where the percentage is still very low, such as Sub-Saharan Africa, the growth rate is among the highest in the world.
- To meet this demand would require a furious pace of building physical infrastructure, which carries a similarly burdensome financial investment. Alternatively, we can seek non traditional solutions, in which OER can play an important role.
- And the world needs this dream to come true … and quickly… if we are to meet the global demand for higher / tertiary education. Sir John Daniel, President & DEO of the Commonwealth of Learning notes: What do you think the odds are the world will build four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years?
- Free = no cost Open = no cost and openly licensed, at least including the right to modify
- Another interesting activity being undertaken in Indonesia is the use of OER in formal educational program. The University of Bandun wanted to develop programs in water management. As you know, developing new courses and programs requires a significant financial and time commitment. Rather than investing in faculty developing theoretical lectures, they decided to use these lectures freely and openly offered by Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and focus their development efforts on contextualizing theoretical and practical approaches in Indonesian environments and society.
- Students benefit from this approach by having more hands on opportunities to explore the application of theory and approach in their local situations. Faculty become engaged in producing locally relevant activities and content, which is then put back as OER so that the rest of the world can benefit from their experience and begin to understand how theoretical concepts can be interpreted and operationalized in different contexts around the world.
