Unesco OER Implementation Award: UNESCO/ICDE Chair Open Educational Movement for Latin America

Tecnológico de Monterrey
Monterrey, Nuevo León, México

The Recommendation on OER issued in November 2019 by UNESCO played a central role again in December 2019 at the Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico), with the open educational practice: UNESCO/ICDE International Stay for Open Educational Movement in Latin America.

The purpose of the stay was to build, through international networks, innovative projects with social impact in response to UNESCO’s recommendations, through active methodologies, interaction with experts in innovation, education and research, in order to provide creative solutions to support the sustainable development objectives (ODS) of the UNESCO 2030 agenda.

The participants of the international stay included 70 academics from 11 countries (Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Spain, United States, England, Mexico, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic). The process was supported by the participation of experts from the Tecnológico de Monterrey, the Universidad Estatal de Educación a Distancia (Costa Rica) and the LATAM node of Open Education Global.

For two weeks, we worked collaboratively with the Roadmap strategy (transferred from the Open Education Consortium, Paris, 2018), through collaborative work, project-based learning and video production with mobile devices. The teams designed projects to support the recommendations of UNESCO 2019. These projects are implemented in 2020 and published in open access.

The results were 14 projects and videos developed collaboratively by international network teams. The projects have been uploaded in open access to the Tecnológico de Monterrey Institutional Repository (RITEC https://repositorio.tec.mx) and its YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/itesm).

Democratizing knowledge advocates for leadership actions and collective work with practices that support the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Educational Resources, where the constructive work with the open practice of the UNESCO/ICDE Chair Open Educational Movement for Latin America is highlighted.

This participation of the Universidad del Noreste Tampico México, within the Open Educational Movement for Latin America, remained constant and successfully achieved the signing of the First Collaboration Agreement between a University of the American Continent and the UNESCO Chair and ICDE.

From the awareness and dissemination achieved of the Open Educational Movement in our University, we identified one of several areas of opportunity. And to ensure that our fellow teachers, as well as teachers from various universities in the north of the country, find it easier to design Open Educational Resources, which from the beginning was our end.

We designed the First Digital Skills Workshop for Higher Education Teachers, with the support of the UNESCO Chair and the ICDE, but mainly from the encouragement that Dr. María Soledad Ramírez Montoya spread to us, who is the “Chair” of our Cathedra.

This Workshop was carried out at the same time with a Master Lecture given at our University by Dr. Marisol herself.

In 2019, upon obtaining the application again to participate in the International residence of the UNESCO Chair and ICDE Open Educational Movement for Latin America. It has been approved and we are developing Antonia María Fernández Luque for Spain, Luis Clemente Jiménez Botello, Rosa Estela López Gómez and a server Esteban Vázquez Herrera for Mexico. The MEXICO - SPAIN Binational Project, supported by the Sustainable Development Objective of Unesco related to the Health and Well-being of the population, is focused on “Promoting and generating the Development of Digital Competences in Health Professionals”.


Despite the contingency generated by the pandemic, its first actions in the project have already been initially developed in Spain, starting in October, with Medical staff and Midwives from the Children’s Hospital of the Health Council of the Junta de Andalucía.

And in Mexico, our University continues the development of the project as of February 2021, also at the American Cultural Institute of the state of Mexico and the Ecatepec Valley State University.
Well, in this way we share some experiences that we hope will serve as a reference for our work focused on Open Education.

Greetings to everyone who has been invited to this Congress on Open Educational Resources, we would like to share the experience we have had as a group in the UNESCO/ICDE Chair of which we had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the year 2019.
During this Chair, we developed a training course, with the adaptive methodological innovation, for teachers and trainers from different academic backgrounds. The purpose is that teachers are able to create, promote, and spread their OERs. It is currently being tested in different institutions in Chile and Mexico.
