What Openness Means to the Commonwealth of Learning
COL, Professor Ascha Kanwar

What does EC/UNESCO/COL mean
with
Opening up education?
Opening up education means bringing
the digital revolution into education.
Digital technologies allow all
individuals to learn, anywhere,
anytime, through any device, with the
support of anyone

EC Recommendations for Higher
Education Opening up Education
review their organisational strategies
exploit the potential of Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOCs)
stimulate innovative learning practices such as
blended learning
equip teachers with high digital competences
equip learners with digital skills
think about how to validate and recognise
learner’s achievements in online education
make high quality Open Education
Resources (OER) visible and accessible

Open Education Europa portal, is to be able to support the deployment and availability of
digital technology and content.
This initiative addresses several educational difficulties at the European level. Europe is falling
behind in the digital sphere; the great majority of schools are not digitally equipped and their
students are not taught by digitally confident teachers, rather teachers who mainly use ICT to
prepare their teaching but not as a skill for students to develop in the classroom. In the
background, remains the threat of facing a new digital divide between those who have access
to innovative, tech-based education and the digitally excluded.
The solution lays in open technologies that grant access to education for everyone and allow:
- students to build knowledge from open and free sources other than their teachers and
institutions, and with different methods;
- everyone to engage in learning/study groups, thus creating learning communities beyond
their classrooms;
make personalisation and customisation of education a much easier task;
- teachers to create communities of practice to exchange teaching materials and best
practices;
provide access to a wider range of educational resources across borders and languages.

OER Why it matters

OER What is that?

UNESCO/COL
Open Educational Resources
(OERs) are any type of
educational materials that are
in the public domain or
introduced with an open
license. The nature of these
open materials means that
anyone can legally and freely
copy, use, adapt and re-share
them. OERs range from
textbooks to curricula, syllabi,
lecture notes, assignments,
tests, projects, audio, video
and animation.
International Training Program in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights SIDA Ossiannilsson 8th 2016

UNESCO/COL
COL-UNESCO defines OER as: The
phenomenon of OER is an
empowerment process,
facilitated by technology in which
various types of stakeholders are
able to interact, collaborate,
create, and use materials and
pedagogic practices, that are
freely available, for enhancing
access, reducing costs, and
improving the quality of
education and learning at all
levels

Umar 2010)

Global Perspectives on Sexual and
Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)
Questions related to sexuality and
reproduction are intimately linked to
health, well-being and human rights. In
this course, you will gain a unique
opportunity to explore the field of SRHR
together with participants from around
the world, and to reflect upon themes
and issues that are of global relevance

The share of English language courses has slightly
reduced from 80% in 2014 to 75% in 2015. There are
couple of reasons for this:
1. the rise of region-specific providers like FUN (backed
by the French government) and MiriadaX; and
2. the fact that US-based providers like Coursera are
now targeting international markets, and as such are
creating courses in regional languages.
After English, Spanish and French are the biggest
languages in which courses are offered. Courses are
currently being offered in 16 different languages,
including Basque and Estonian.
