One of the key objectives and areas of action of the UNESCO Recommendation on OER is about developing supportive policy. This area of action focuses on encouraging governments, education authorities and institutions to adopt regulatory frameworks to support open licensing of publicly funded educational and research materials, to develop strategies to enable the use and adaptation of OER in support of high quality, inclusive education and lifelong learning for all.
At the webinar, course professors and students will present how the use of both instruments (Guidelines and the Game) has shown itself as a powerful mechanism to analyze and create a roadmap for OER and Open Education policy for organizations and groups. Namely, as the final assignment of the Open Education Strategies one-semester course (winter 2020/21), students were asked to reflect on an existing case, which they knew well, and to apply what they had learnt in the course to considerations for developing an open education policy for this case. The students and their academic supervisors prof. Dominic Orr and prof. Tel Amiel are proud to share these reflections at the OE Global conference in the hope that they may contribute to a rich and comprehensive debate around developing open education policies around the world.
• The first case, written by Mojca Drevenšek, aims to foster non-formal open education of multi-stakeholder clean energy communities in Europe, related to the H2020 research project NEWCOMERS.
• The second case, written by Ana Fabjan, drafts an open policy roadmap for an existing online mentoring program entitled “Open Education for a Better World (OE4BW)”
