Open Education Week 2012
March 5-12 The OpenCourseWare Consortium organises the first worldwide Open Education Week, to raise awareness about the benefits of free and open sharing in education, especially of Open Educational Resources (OER). OER are high-quality, free and open educational materials that offer opportunities for people anywhere in the world to share, use and reuse.
Drs. Anka Mulder, president of the OpenCourseWare Consortium:
“The vision of the open education movement is to create a world in which the desire to learn is fully met by the opportunity to do so, where everyone, everywhere, is able to access affordable, educationally and culturally appropriate opportunities to gain whatever knowledge or training they desire. “The movement encompasses producing, sharing, using and modifying content, as well as innovative models of educational delivery. The Open Education Week will showcase projects, resources, people and ideas so that people around the world can see the breadth of what has been accomplished already, and participate in discussions about the future of the movement."
Delft University of Technology, SURF and Open Universiteit in the Netherlands strongly support Open Education Week and organize an event for policy makers within Higher Education in Europe.
