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

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
