Call For Papers | |||||||||||
The purpose of the 23rd issue of eLearning Papers on Open Education is to further our understanding of the way in which open access and open educational resources impact educational practices in organizations, and for learners and other stakeholders, both today and in the future.
We are calling for contributions on open education with a focus that goes beyond issues relating to OER access, addressing innovative open educational practices (OEP) that transform educational experiences. OEP can be initially understood as practices which support the (re)use and production of quality OER through institutional policies, promote innovative pedagogical models, and respect and empower learners as co-producers on their lifelong learning path. Furthermore, we recognize that our understanding of the impact of openness on educational scenarios, and especially on educational institutions, is still in early stages. For this reason we welcome design papers as well as empirical papers that simulate critical debate and collect data, as well as contribute to the theoretical foundation of this still-young field. We specifically invite contributions which address one or several of the following issues: * Open education * Open educational practices * Quality and innovation through openness * From open content to open courses to open institutions * Impact of openness to bridging the educational and digital divide * Peer-to-peer learning, validation and reviewing in open learning scenarios * Assessment in open educational scenarios * Culture Change through open education * Stimulating and creating incentive for change towards openness in education * Digital literacy and practice enhancing openness in education |
