The document discusses the need for new educational frameworks and skills to engage with the changing world due to advances in technology. It proposes researching how open education and open educational resources impact traditional education theories by providing a theoretical foundation, mapping current conceptions of education, and compiling empirical evidence on how open approaches influence learning. The goal is to reconstruct education theory to reflect modern society and educational systems.
