Open education is an increasingly important part of how educational institutions deliver their public mission and commit to increased quality and effective education, at the same time envisaging social inclusion and equal opportunities. Open education practices provide paths for education institutions to be more accountable to society, and modernise education by embracing the use of digital technologies, as well as promoting transparent strategies and distributed leadership at various levels. ‘Going open’ is a process for all involved: institutions, learners and society. It depends on creating both digital and non-digital opportunities to make education more collaborative, more transparent, and more inclusive.
In this presentation Andreia will provide a summary of the findings of the two JRC newest reports on open education, with focus on policies in Europe. She will also provide an overview of how opening up teaching, learning and research practices, as well as embracing open learning recognition, have been contributing to create an open education ecosystem.
