5. Open educational practices
‘…open education is not limited to just open educational resources. It
also draws upon open technologies that facilitate collaborative, flexible
learning and the open sharing of teaching practices that empower
educators to benefit from the best ideas of their colleagues. It may also
grow to include new approaches to assessment, accreditation and
collaborative learning'.
(CapeTown Open Education Declaration, 2008)
