materials in any medium, digital or otherwise,
that reside in the public domain or have been
released under an open license that permits
no-cost access, use, adaptation and
redistribution by others with no or limited
restrictions.” – 2012 Paris Declaration

Editor's Notes

  1. Intro
  2. The purpose of this week is to raise awareness about open education and what it can do for students, teachers and lecturers across the world! You can find out more at openeducationweek.org.
  3. So, what is open education?
  4. A video created by Blink tower, a local Cape Town based animation firm, that won 1st place in a competition to describe why open education matters… this video covers the basics of open education. (Please use the link to access the video: http://vimeo.com/43401199 )
  5. So, as the video highlighted, open education is about creating opportunities for learning and promoting the sharing of resources to help everyone have access to learning materials.
  6. Basically, its all about removing barriers to accessing education
  7. These barriers can be overcome by technology, networks and sharing of resources and licenses allowing reuse of existing materials. Open + technology + (connected + sharing) + reuse
  8. So, know you have a bit of a better idea as to what open education is, what do you think OERs are? Student feedback… What are open educational resources? How can they be used? What do you know about them? Have you used them? Etc.
  9. In 2012, the Paris Declaration defined OERs as…
