7. • 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

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

17. 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
