Chapter XXXIX of Focus on Open Science: Budapest

Presentation: Educational Resources Diversity and Openness, a Key to Educational Success in the Open Science Ecosystem
Educational resources are part of the academic production and offer a wide possibility for enhancing knowledge openness. They are considered by UNESCO as a component of the open science ecosystem, and enter the field of the European Education Area that is aiming at “removing barriers to learning and improving access to quality education for all”. Setting up a policy and determining a strategy for digitising and opening up educational resources can be used as a driver for leading your institution and network towards augmented pedagogy and resource sharing. How can institutions and their libraries build momentum in the field of open educational resources? What are the key points and basic skills needed for entering the way towards a successful project? What are the benefits (and pitfalls) to be expected ? This presentation offers an insight and provides some guidelines on how to make first steps in OERs in order to build an open educational resources strategy, and develop sustainable partnerships with stakeholders already active with open educational resources.
