Open Education Week
It is time to celebrate and spread the dream that everyone in the
world can access a high quality, affordable education if we collectively
share our educational resources and spend our public resources wisely!
The second annual Open Education Week will take place March 11-15, 2013 (see schedule).
Open Education Week is a five-day celebration of the global Open
Education movement, featuring online and local events around the world,
video showcases of open education projects, and lots of information. The
week is designed to raise awareness of both the movement and its impact
on teaching and learning worldwide.
Open Education refers to the growing set of practices that promote
the sharing high quality, openly licensed educational resources (OER)
and support for learners to access education anywhere, anytime. Open
Education incorporates educational networks, open teaching and learning
materials, open textbooks, open data, open scholarship, and open-source
educational tools.
As part of Open Education Week, Creative Commons and its affiliates
are hosting and participating in local events and webinars on OER, Version 4.0 of the CC licenses, the Open Policy Network, School of Open, and more. In addition, the School of Open
will officially launch its first set of courses next week, including
courses on copyright and Creative Commons for educators. Courses will be
free to take and free to reuse and remix under P2PU’s default CC BY-SA licensing policy.
And a special thanks to our friends at the OpenCourseWare Consortium for organizing the 2nd annual Open Education Week.
