What are the links between UNESCO and Open Access ? What UNESCO will do in the future to promote Open access to scientific knowledge ?
Now, the ppt of the Open access week conference is available ! A presentation made by Bhanu Neupane.
Libraries are playing an important role in driving sustainable development globally and locally. Globally, libraries collaborate through organizations like IFLA to support the UN's 2030 agenda and advance initiatives like the Marrakesh Treaty. They also partner with programs like UNESCO's Information for All to promote information access, literacy and peace. Locally, libraries serve as community anchors, facilitating dialogue on social issues and supporting community empowerment and capacity building for social transformation. The document discusses how libraries can measure their impact on peace and partner with other organizations to strengthen this work.
This document discusses media education and its use in schools. It defines media education as intentional activities to practice media literacy among people. It also outlines seven debates in the media literacy movement, such as whether media education should aim to protect from negative influences or include media production. The document provides two examples of media education in practice: CmapTools digital concept mapping software and Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia.
This presentation went into the aspects of educational media beyond the broadcast era presented by Ingrid Bruynse at the learning landscapes conference April 2014
This document introduces a handbook on open access and summarizes its purpose and production. It states that open access aims to build knowledge societies with participation from all people by facilitating access to information and knowledge. However, debates surround how to ensure both open access and protection of intellectual property. The handbook was produced through an expert workshop to inform the public debate on balancing open access with commercial and private interests in academic work.

1) The document discusses the disruption of traditional print media models caused by digital technologies and the internet. This has led to more collaborative and interactive knowledge that exists on networked platforms.
2) Universities and education are also being disrupted, with students accessing course materials online through learning management systems. There is a shift towards more open educational resources and open licensing of teaching materials.
3) However, barriers like restrictive digital rights management and a lack of open licensing policies still exist. The document calls for new partnerships and policies to fully realize the benefits of open educational resources and collaborative knowledge sharing in a digital age.

Open Principles in Education – Building Bridges, Empowering communitiesSuchith Anand
Iwant to share why it is important that we protect Open principles in Education and the vision 2030 for Open Geospatial Science . This presentation will share experiences from “Geo for All” initiative on the importance of having open principles in education for empowering communities worldwide . Central to “Geo for All” mission is the belief that knowledge is a public good and Open Principles in Education will provide great opportunities for everyone. Though the members of our community hail from many different backgrounds, we all seek to eliminate the digital divide and empower all as full citizens and contribute to building up Open Knowledge for the benefit of the whole society . By combining the potential of free and open software, open data, open standards, open access to research publications, open education resources in Geospatial education and research will enable the creation of sustainable innovation ecosystem . This is key for widening education opportunities, accelerating new discoveries and helping solving global cross disciplinary societal challenges from Climate change mitigation to sustainable cities. Service for the benefit and betterment of humanity is a key fundamental principle of “Geo for All” and we want to contribute and focus our efforts for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We aim to create openness in Geo Education for developing creative and open minds in students which is critical for building open innovation and contributes to building up Open Knowledge for the benefit of the whole society and for our future generations. The bigger aim is to advance STEM education across the world and bring together schools, teachers and students across the world in joint projects and help building international understanding and global peace.

Open science through academic libraries can improve research, education, and unite humanity in sharing knowledge.
UNESCO Open Educational Resources Programme - Presentation to the ICT Radio ...Abel Caine
Presentation of the UNESCO OER Programme to the team members of the UNESCO ICT Radio Project - Wednesday 26 June, 2013. Proposal - to OERize all the training materials of the Project so that they can be adapted, especially translated, by the global community of internet-savvy community radios.
This document discusses open access and defines it as free access to peer-reviewed scholarly research. It outlines the benefits of open access such as increased visibility, readership and potential impact of research. It also discusses how open access can be achieved through open access journals ("gold route"), repositories ("green route") or hybrid journals. The document recommends ways for librarians to promote open access, such as launching institutional repositories and open access journals, and educating academics about open access options for publishing and depositing their work. Major organizations that support open access like UNESCO, EIFL and IFLA are also mentioned.
It is nearly a decade since the initial ideas for Open Geospatial Science was started . Open Geospatial Science builds upon the idea of Open science that scientific knowledge of all kinds are able to be develop more rapidly and in a more productive manner if openly shared (as early as is practical in the discovery process). The key ingredients to make Open Geospatial Science possible is Open Principles (open source geospatial software, open data, open standards , open educational resources and open access to research publications) .
This document provides a summary of the key points discussed during the author's attachment at the Commonwealth of Learning (COL). It outlines COL's focus on open educational resources (OER) and distance learning. It also describes several areas COL is working on, including technology-enabled learning, education accessibility, teacher education, and supporting the Pacific Centre for Open and Flexible Learning for Development. The methodology involved conversations with COL education specialists covering topics like OER, their importance in the Pacific, and the value of collaboration. The outcomes emphasized establishing an OER unit in the author's country with clear objectives and defined roles for limited staff.
This document is a report summarizing the key author's experience and learnings from an attachment at the Commonwealth of Learning regarding Open Educational Resources (OER). The report discusses the definition and importance of OER for educational development in Fiji and globally. It provides details about the Commonwealth of Learning organization's evolution and mandate to promote open and distance learning. The report also outlines the objectives, content, and methodology of the attachment, which focused on understanding OER and how to establish an OER unit in Fiji to support a knowledgeable society through open sharing of educational resources.
The big gaps in education, the trends in online, open and flexible education and the drivers for open creates the background for benchmarking the Nordic countries towards the globe. Competitiveness and innovation, Human capital, Network and technology readiness are benchmarks. So what: What are key concept to approach to go digital? Online, Open and Analytics are game changers - but not without leadership for change.

CLACSO promotes open access to knowledge through its virtual library containing over 80,000 documents freely available online. It aims to disseminate social science research more broadly and enrich public debate. However, only 16% of Latin American journals are included in Scopus and 5% in Web of Science, showing regional inequalities. CLACSO advocates for open access policies that make publicly funded research openly available, strengthen local open access initiatives, and consider a variety of impact measures rather than just international bibliometric indicators.

The document discusses how digital technologies and social networks could impact scientific research. It notes that funding cuts and fewer students are forcing researchers to collaborate more with less resources. Social networks may help with visibility, networking, and collaborating. However, some researchers worry they are a waste of time or could enable theft of ideas. The document introduces MyScienceWork.com as a social network dedicated to open access research that provides over 28 million publications and connects over 31,000 users from around the world. It aims to make research more efficient through features like centralized information, personalized libraries, and facilitating collaborations.
Writing tips for the web - Biovision NextMyScienceWork
This document provides an overview of writing science for the web. It begins with a brief history of scientific blogging, noting its origins in the late 1990s to counter anti-science claims and its growth with research blogging and aggregator sites. Reasons to blog about science include increasing visibility, developing an online reputation, and seeing science from new perspectives. When writing for the web, it is important to know your goals and provide the right level of detail for your audience. Links, images, and other multimedia can help explain concepts but should only be used when truly useful. Proper attribution of sources is also important.
MyScienceWork is a social network dedicated to open access for researchers to improve visibility, gain feedback, find jobs, and expand their professional networks. It offers personalized suggestions and allows users to create working groups, publish articles and CVs, and receive relevant multidisciplinary research. With over 15,000 members from more than 100 countries, MyScienceWork aims to improve the efficiency of researchers through timesaving resources and effective communication tools.

UNESCO and Open access
1. UNESCO and Open Access
Indrajit Banerjee, Director
Open Access Week 2012
1
2. In the next 3 (three) hours
Globally enough information will be consumed to fill
21 million DVDs
36 billion emails will be sent
some 250000 blog posts will be written
– enough to fill the TIME magazine for 256 million
years;
2
3. In the next 3 (three hours)
22 million people would have visited Facebook;
2.8 million people would have visited LinkedIn;
more than 30 million photos would have been
uploaded;
2.8 million hours of tv and movies would have been
watched on Netflix;
3
4. In the next 3 (three hours)
some 5 million people would have visited Twitter
587 million minutes would have been spent on
Facebook
More iPhones would be sold than babies that
would be born in the next 3 hours.
4
5. Shall we be happy and complacent?
Presence of “Knowledge Challenges”, that requires
our concerted and synergized action.
Erosion of access to certain information and
knowledge
Digital divide continues
5
6. Thus UNESCO:
Believes in building inclusive knowledge societies.
Leveraging of new technological innovations
Principle of ‘Openness’, access and sharing by
focussing on content, technology and processes.
6
7. World is competitive
Competitiveness of a country depends on its
knowledge acquisition and sharing capacity.
If we share more, we improve the value of our
research and reduce obstacles for sharing the
knowledge
7
8. Thus at UNESCO we believe
that many of the old values and ways for sharing
information are not appropriate in these times.
This is why UNESCO advocates in favour of OPEN
ACCESS to Scholarly and scientific
Communication.
8
9. The political mandate
All countries of the world met in Paris during the 36
general Conference in October 2011 and adopted
the Open Access strategy.
Outlined Organization’s work over next 6 years.
9
10. Easy Rationale
Access to information is dear to everyone involved
in research, innovation and creativity
Quality teaching, learning and research without
access to new knowledge is impossible.
There are several challenges, but the concept and
philosophy of Open Access brings to us a variety of
solutions to improve access to information and
knowledge.
10
11. UNESCO’s mandate
is to: “Maintain, increase and diffuse knowledge:
By encouraging cooperation among the nations in
all branches of intellectual activity”
