Neat initiative!

Useful followup to the roadmap from a year ago: [Une feuille de route collaborative, transcontinentale, pour étendre l’éducation ouverte et libre par un dialogue pluriel](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/une-feuille-de-route-collaborative-transcontinentale-pour-etendre-leducation-ouverte-et-libre-par-un-dialogue-pluriel/3850).

Added some votes.

Interested in that competency framework:  
[Edudemia: le référentiel de compétences pour l’enseignement supérieur (unidistance.ch)](https://blog.unidistance.ch/edudemia-un-referentiel-de-competences-pour-valoriser-lenseignement-superieur)

How would you compare it to the EU’s [DigComp](https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/digcomp_en)?

Here in Quebec, the provincial government has adopted its own [Digital competency framework](https://digitalcompetency.ca/pages/about_us), particularly in the context of the 2018-2023 [Digital Action Plan](http://www.education.gouv.qc.ca/en/current-initiatives/digital-action-plan/digital-action-plan/) (DAP) for both education and higher education. Many people expect a new action plan, possibly geared towards Digital Transformation.  
Prior to the 2018 DAP, our network of tuition-free colleges had created its own digital competency framework: [ICT Profile for College Students - Eductive](https://eductive.ca/en/tic_profile/ict-profile-for-college-students/) (hosted by my team).

Something I find particularly interesting in discussions of _Digital Competency_ frameworks and other documents about _Digital Literacy_ is that the _Information Literacy_ component can get its own focus. Librarians are key allies in this work. And it does touch on issues of Research Data Management (RDM). Surely, RDM is deeply relevant in Open Scholarship. Some items in your [Open Science Padlet](https://unige.padlet.org/barbaraclass/open-scholar-open-science-dimension-i5huvpuful57c6zb) do relate to broad RDM principles as set in the Open movement.

What might be constructive, at this point, is to link “all these opens” to one another, making them part of a broad ecosystemic approach to openness, inspired by @paulstacey’s [Landscape of Open](https://edtechfrontier.com/2018/02/08/starting-anew-in-the-landscape-of-open/), and specifying some interdepencies.

Recently, I’ve been actively (and slowly) reading Constance Malpas’s blogpost about a version of the Ecosystem of Open: [Open everything, everywhere, all at once (hangingtogether.org)](https://hangingtogether.org/open-everything-everywhere-all-at-once/). I get the sense that we’re reaching an important moment at which we can really work together (across “all the opens”) to solve systemic issues. Many of which are [wicked problems](https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/wicked-problem/about/What-is-a-wicked-problem).  
A key issue, for us as learning pros, is Epistemic Injustice. Concrete work done on [Epistemic Justice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIclz7rxDx8) dovetails nicely into Open Education and Open Scholarship.
