Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------
Open access to digital educational resources and tools (typically
referred to as Open Educational Resources - OERs) and/or online
courses (typically referred to as Massive Open Online Courses -
MOOCs) has attracted significant attention worldwide from the
different key stakeholders in Education and Training. Despite the
fact that the open access movement in Education has the potential
to lead a disruptive Social Innovation in teaching and learning
(including assessing of learning as well as accreditation of
competences and qualifications), concerns are expressed that it
could also lead to deepen the digital divide between regions,
states and continents.
Ideally, unfolding the full potential of opening up education,
anticipates not only the affordable availability and maintenance
of efficient digital infrastructures, but mainly networks of
people and professionals (representing the various existing key
stakeholders in education, but also new ones emerged as a result
of the transformations happening outside the formal educational
settings) who are actively engaged in leading and supporting
sustainable changes.
Digital technologies are the key enabler for the anticipated
social innovations in education and learning through the open
access movement. Furthermore, new challenges for governments,
educational institutes, non-profit organizations, the private
sector, the unions of professionals in education and training, as
well as, individual professionals and citizens, are shaped and
fostering the scientific dialogue of different perspectives can
contribute to the advancement of the public discourse in these
pressing issues. This is the scope of this special issue on “the
social innovation capacity of open education and learning”.
