METID recognises in the Open Educational Resources (OER) a key element in didactic innovation and the transformation of education. This is why it actively promotes its adoption and dissemination within the Politecnico di Milano and in a broader context national and international, by supporting open educational practices that value knowledge sharing, collaboration and sustainability of educational processes.
OERs, or Open Educational Resources, are teaching materials of any kind - texts, videos, lessons, exercises, modules, complete courses - freely rendered accessible and reusable thanks to open licences that allow it to be used, modified and shared.
OERs are a key instrument to promote aopen, inclusive and sustainable education, as they foster the circulation of knowledge, collaboration between teachers and students and the innovation of training processes, with a view to sharing and continuous improvement.
MOOC
Enhancing education through open opportunities
MOOC
“Open” represents a different way of understanding education: an approach based on the sharing, improving and reusing teaching materials created by teachers, content experts, librarians, professionals - and sometimes by students themselves - who consciously choose to making knowledge accessible to all.
This deliberate choice allows others to adopt, adapt and rework resources and educational practices according to their specific contexts and needs.
The course explores the central questions of theOpen Education:
- What it offers the global learning and teaching community through the OER (Open Educational Resources)?
- How the Open Educational Practices (OEP) can they support educational activities?
- How can examples of open practice from around the world inspire new approaches?
- How do reusable and openly licensed documents - in editable formats - enable the creation of experiences consistent with the expected learning outcomes?
- What is the role of Open Education policies in building a sustainable educational future?
- How the initiatives on Climate Change, Open Science and Open Education on a global level?
This MOOCs is designed for teachers, instructional designers, librarians and education professionals, and accompanies them in the development of their skills through concrete examples of Open Education from different contexts and levels.
The course invites participants to explore real cases, reflect on their own practices and dialogue with institutional decision-makers to experiment with open solutions that can triggering sustainable processes of change and generate a positive impact on shared social challenges.
