10. La importancia de la Educación Superior
en Europa
“HE is a powerful driver of economic growth
and open doors to better living standards and
opportunities for people”
Androulla Vassiliou
Comisaria Europea para Educación y Cultura
20/09/2011

11. Agenda de modernización de la
educación superior europea (2011)
1. Aumentar el numero de graduados
2. Mejorar calidad y relevancia de ES
3. Mas oportunidades de estudios en el extranjero (proceso
de Bolonia, ECTS)
4. Formar investigadores para la industria de mañana
5. Fortalecer links entre educación, investigación, sector
privado para promover excelencia y innovación
6. Asegurar fondos de manera eficiente

12. Un concepto clave: integración
Desde fragmentación hacia interacción de sistema
Desde colaboración individual hacia partenariados
institucionales
Desde autoreferencialidad hacia governancia multi-
stakeholder
Desde torres de marfil hacia puentes de marfil:
universidades como catalizadores de innovación y
internacionalización de sus entornos socioeconómicos

13. Poner el aprendizaje al centro del
desarrollo basado en la innovación
El triangulo del conocimiento
Comunidades de conocimiento y innovación
Alianzas de conocimiento

Crecimiento A través de Inclusion
Participación A través de TICs

Abierta

19. The range of "Opens"

20. Open Education: Five waves
1. Open Classrooms (Progressive education; 1960's)
2. Open Universities (1960's)
3. Learning objects and OER (~2000)
4. Sharing and collaboration of OER with web 2.0 (~2006)
5. Open Educational Practices (now-)
Voukkari 2013

21. Why Open Education?
COL in 2009 predicted a
worldwide increase in demand
for higher education of 98M
students in 2025. To realize
this, each week four new
universities should start until
2025

22. Rising Cost of Education worldwide
Decreasing Public Funding
ICT and social media (access to resources anytime,
anywhere)
Lifelong learning as a growing concern
Why Open Education?

23. Source http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-13-368
Figure 1: Estimated Increases in New College Textbook Prices, College Tuition and
Fees, and Overall Consumer Price Inflation, 2002 to 2012
prices grew by 28 percent.

24. Meanings of openness
(attribution Fred Mulder)
Open admission (no demands for participation)
Open in pace (no limited period)
Open in place (everywhere)
Open in time (no fixed starting date; no cohort)
Open in program (complete curriculum or some courses)
Open for adaptation (freedom for reuse – remix – rework –
redistribute)
Freely available (no costs)

25. open ≠ free
open = free +
permissions

26. Benefits of Sharing
Preserves authors’ rights
Openness makes plagiarism difficult; No incentive
Attribution
No need to lie about source
Institutional marketing
Services not content
Expands creator’s careers

27. Open Educational Resources
“...educational materials and resources
offered freely and openly for anyone
to use and under some license to re-
mix, improve and redistribute.”
Atkins et al. 2007; OECD & CERI 2007 or Cape Town Declaration, 2007 or UNESCO and COL 2011.

28. The 5Rs

29. Practices which support the
production, use and reuse of
high quality OER through
institutional policies, which
promote innovative
pedagogical models, and
respect and empower
learners as co-producers on
their lifelong learning path.
Open Educational Practices

Wikiversity, P2P U, UoPeople, Khan Academy, MOOCs, Udacity or MITx

30. Open Textbooks
•Copy & paste, annotate, highlight √
• Text to speech or hyperlink √
• Format change √
• Move material to other computer √
• Print out √
• Move geographically √
• No expiry date √
• Reuse/Remix/Mash √
•Retain privacy and digital rights √√
Mc Greal 2014

31. Massive Open Online
Courses (MOOC)
According to Oxford Dictionary, a MOOC is a course
of study made available over the Internet without
charge to a very large number of people
MOOCs are appealing to the masses
Can bring a global perspective
Bonvillian, W., & Singer, S. (2013). The Online Challenge to Higher
Education. Issues in Science and Technology. P. 23 – 30.

32. OER: open issues
Quality and validity issues
Technological issues
Intellectual property/copyright issues
Sustainability

34. Open Education and developing
countries
 Help save course content development time and money
 Facilitating sharing of knowledge and academic information
and resources
 Addressing the digital divide by providing capacity-building
resources for educators
 Help preserve and circulate indigenous knowledge
 Has the capacity to improve the quality of education at all
levels
 Can be reused, mixed, altered, localized and don’t need
permission to use them.

universities. (2012) Distance Education 33(2). P. 283-290

45. The intersection between…

46. www.eMundus-project.eu

47. www.emundusatlas.org

48. Open Education is not a solution to the challenges of
reducing the unitary cost of higher education
but rather
a way to help establish long-term international
partnership, aiming for an open international setting where
universities cooperate based on their capacity not only to
attract international students but to meaningfully work
together and share experiences.

49. From classic international education…
Students “in” and students “out”
Teaching some students another language
Relevant only to certain types of institutions, disciplines,
and students
Central neither to the institution nor to student learning
A scattered set of disparate activities

50. …to transformational partnerships
collaborations able to “develop common goals and projects
over time in which resources are combined and partnerships
are expansive, ever-growing, and relationship-oriented”
(Sutton 2010)

51. OE and transformational
partnerships
Activities of a transformational
partnership
Potential impact of Open Education
Resources sharing By using OER, resources sharing between and among
universities is made easier (IPR, searchability, language
and cultural adaptation).
Collaborative curriculum development Open Educational Practices facilitate networked
curriculum developments
Students and staff continuous mobility Virtual mobility contributes to “structural” exchanges
Joint promotion Through MOOCs platform and by sharing resources,
collaborative promotion is made easier
Joint research By adopting Open Science approaches, research
collaboration is made easier

52. OE-enhanced international
collaboration
OER contextualisation and
adaptation (Supported by agreements
around open copyright licences )
Transnational Networked Curricula and Virtual
Mobility schemes among universities, as the ones
presented in the Being Mobile report and in the NetCu
project by EADTU;
Joint degrees based and OER, with
international recognition of OE degrees
Accreditation of informal learning
using OER, as the OERuniversitas.
Joint promotion through MOOCs
platforms, such as the European
OpenUpEdu initiative or the UK
Futurelearn.
International research projects on
Open Education, such as the OPAL
project or the VM-Pass project.
Expertise sharing on OER through
training and knowledge transfer, as REA
