3. “Today there are 158 million
people enrolled in tertiary
education1. Projections
suggest that that participation
will peak at 263 million2 in
2025. Accommodating the
additional 105 million
students would require more
than four major universities
(30,000 students) to open
every week for the next fifteen
years.

4. • The demand for
entrepreneurship learning has
been and is still steadily
increasing.
• There are obstacles hindering
the uptake of entreneurship
education, such as:
▫ A shortage of human
resources and funding for this
type of education
▫ There has been a tendency in
academic /teaching
communities to perceive it
with learning how to start
and run a business

• Education is sharing
• Open allows more
rapid building and
sharing at a larger
scale

11. 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.

20. OER Process
• OER is not just content, it is also a process of engaging with the
materials and with others.
• This process involves
▫ sharing materials that you have created, either individually or in groups with other
teachers and/or learners
▫ using and adapting others’ materials for your own use
▫ sharing back modifications to or comments about others’ materials so that future users
can benefit.
• New way of teaching and learning that is more collaborative and
participatory
▫ Move from content creation to content co-creation
▫ Become part of a growing community
