Enhancing education through open opportunities
Section outline
-
Week 0 is an introduction to the MOOC, its structure and the main subject we are dealing with.
-
Week 1 aims to provide key concepts related to "Open Educational Practices," including the principles and characteristics that distinguish open approaches from traditional educational methods. It dives into examples related to how Open Educational Practices contribute to fostering inclusivity, accessibility, and learner engagement and how challenges and opportunities intertwine with the adoption of open approaches in diverse educational settings.
-
In week 2, you are invited to zoom out and look at Open Education opportunities from above, adopting the perspective of policymakers, to better understand how the future of education is supported by international policies, institutions, organisations, and a global community that foster a co-creative approach to including all voices and face social and cultural challenges more effectively.
-
Week 3 aims to offer an overview of key elements that make Open Education a viable approach to serving challenging priorities as a civil community, basing action on shared knowledge. It also offers examples of roadmaps and guidelines that are openly available to the community as a start to take action.
-
The final week of this MOOC is meant for OER creators and reusers to consider open approaches from their first steps. We are sharing our decision-making process for this MOOC and the radical open approach we applied to every step, with reusers and adapters as our priority, from the instructional, visual, and graphic designer perspectives.
