7. Aspects in Entrepreneurship Education
• EE refers to the development of a wide range of
different abilities.
• Increasing importance in the European
panorama: alternative for young people
• EE as a lifelong learning process:
▫ Primary
▫ Secondary
▫ Higher education
▫ Personal career

8. • 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

17. Open Education starts with ideas as:
• Education is sharing
• Open allows more
rapid building and
sharing at a larger
scale

OER are building blocks for
innovation

19. 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
