When we talk about open education, our minds may quickly draw associations with concepts such as free resources, Creative Commons licenses, massive open online courses (MOOCs), and the global effort to make educational materials available to anyone with an internet connection. This movement has been revolutionary, but it turns out it’s only the first chapter of a much larger story.
Last November, I had the privilege of participating in a more nuanced conversation about the future of open education that took place at the 30th ICDE World Conference in Aotearoa, New Zealand. This global gathering of educators and policymakers has always moved beyond the idea of “free”, to explore the complexity of designing learning systems that are resilient and inclusive. This post is a recap through four impactful takeaways I reflected on after the Conference. These insights challenge some core assumptions about how we teach, how students learn, and what the word “open” will mean in the age of AI.
