Growing up -‐ taking the long view

Open Education Practitioner: Davide Storti, UNESCO

Since 2002 UNESCO and OER are providing Governments and Ins7tu7ons with a range of services including the development of: •  Policy Guidelines for higher educa7on.

•  Online PlaTorms and tools for sharing OERs.

•  Online Communi#es of Prac7ce for teachers, learners, and experts.

•  Research Papers and other publica#on.

•  Large projects. HewleJ OER Project (2013 – 2014)

•  Large events (World OER Congress).

•  Partnerships to strengthen the implementa7on of successful OER policies.

•  UNESCO and Open Educa7onal Resources rela7onship began in 2002 during a UNESCO Forum of experts.

•  In 2012 UNESCO and the Commonwealth of Learning organized the World OER Congress at the UNESCO HQ in Paris from 20 – 22 June.

•  It was preceded by 6 worldwide regional forums to gather contribu7ons from all Educa7on stakeholders.

•  More than 400 delegates unanimously approved the Paris OER Declara#on.

•  The Declara7on provides a 10-‐point Strategy. •  The Declara7on marks a historic moment in the growing movement for Open

Educa7onal Resources and calls on governments worldwide to openly license educa7onal materials for public use.

•  The WSIS OER Community encourage prac77oners, researchers, decision-‐ and policy-‐makers, teachers, and learners worldwide.

•  With more than 3300 members WSIS KC OER Community provides a strategic opportunity to improve the quality of educa7on as well as facilitate policy dialogue, knowledge sharing and capacity building.

•  There is the opportunity to teach girls and boys to develop mobile apps using mobile phones.

•  Lack of PCs in developing countries precludes mobile-‐based tools.

•  The number of smartphones increases exponen#ally in developing countries.

•  The next one billion new

internet connec#ons will be from mobile devices in the hands of young people from developing countries

The challenge: Engage young people, specially girls, to acquire the high-‐level skills to develop, promote, and sell locally relevant mobile apps that solve local issues of sustainable development and provide employment.

Siri, I want to become a professional photographer.

What should I do?

“I want to be a photographer, what should I do?”

I found this Open University course (T189), that you can enrolled to in the regional centre 2 miles from here (cost £427).

“OK, anything free I can try first?”

There is an Introduction to Photography course on MIT OCW, and a Computational Photography course on coursera starting soon.

Needs data from everybody, contributed to one common data space (… linked data maybe?)
