“Open” means being…
• receptive, honest, transparent• innovative, progressive, creative,
revealed• unconstrained, unrestricted,
unsuppressed, unfettered, unlimited, unprejudiced, unchained
• accessible, reachable, available, helpful, generous, inclusive, flexible, public, tolerant
• an agent of freedom and democracy
Open learning occurs when we….
• engage learners as full partners in the formulation of their education;
• create policies that respect learners’ previous educational experiences as well as their busy lives;
• develop approaches and technologies that bridge time and distance and which foster deep engagement;
• provide support services and accommodations for individual students’ circumstances.
Open learning in a digital age
It also has increasing currency across higher education: the concept of open learning has expanded with the ubiquity of the Web to include: • open content and resources and texts;• open software; • open networks and seminars for
professional development and training; and
• open access journals
