SUMMARY:Open Education Week
DESCRIPTION:Open Education Week\nFounded in 2013 by the Open Education Consortium\, the goal of Open Education Week is to raise awareness and showcase impact of open education on teaching and learning worldwide. Open Education Week has become one the most foremost global events recognizing high achievement and excellence in open education. \nThe week-long event spotlights amazing work from over a dozen categories including live\, face-to-face events\, webinars\, projects\, and resources. \nWhat is Open Education?\nOpen education encompasses resources\, tools and practices that employ a framework of open sharing to improve educational access and effectiveness worldwide. \nOpen Education combines the traditions of knowledge sharing and creation with 21st century technology to create a vast pool of openly shared educational resources\, while harnessing today’s collaborative spirit to develop educational approaches that are more responsive to learner’s needs. \nThe idea of free and open sharing in education is not new.  In fact\, sharing is probably the most basic characteristic of education: education is sharing knowledge\, insights and information with others\, upon which new knowledge\, skills\, ideas and understanding can be built. \nOpen Education seeks to scale up educational opportunities by taking advantage of the power of the internet\, allowing rapid and essentially free dissemination\, and enabling people around the world to access knowledge\, connect and collaborate. \nOpen is key; open allows not just access\, but the freedom to modify and use materials\, information and networks so education can be personalized to individual users or woven together in new ways for diverse audiences\, large and small. \nWhy is Open Education important?\nPeople want to learn. By providing free and open access to education and knowledge\, open education helps create a world to support learning. Students can get additional information\, viewpoints and materials to help them succeed. Workers can learn things that will help them on the job. Faculty can draw on resources from all around the world. Researchers can share data and develop new networks. Teachers can find new ways to help students learn. \nPeople can connect with others they wouldn’t otherwise meet to share ideas and information. Materials can be translated\, mixed together\, broken apart and openly shared again\, increasing access and inviting fresh approaches. Anyone can access educational materials\, scholarly articles\, and supportive learning communities anytime they want to. Education is available\, accessible\, modifiable and free. \n  \nOpen Education Week is a celebration of the global Open Education Movement. Its purpose is to raise awareness about the movement and its impact on teaching and learning worldwide. Participation in all events and use of all resources are free and open to everyone.\n\n\nExcept where otherwise noted\, content on openeducationweek.org is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.\n\nShare this:
