Commission to present 'Opening up Education'
On Wednesday 25 September, the European Commission will present 'Opening up Education', an initiative to promote innovative teaching and learning through new technologies and open educational resources.
The Commission will publish a Communication on 'Opening up Education', which aims to stimulate high-quality, innovative ways of learning and teaching through digital technologies and content. By making learning environments more open and delivering quality education more efficiently, the EU will create a better skilled workforce which will boost jobs, competitiveness and growth.
Opening up Education proposes measures at EU and national levels, including helping learning institutions, teachers and students of all ages to acquire digital skills and new learning methods. The initiative also seeks to support the development and availability of open educational resources.
Background
Digital technologies are radically changing the landscape of education and training. Open educational resources (OER), such as 'Massive Open Online Courses' (MOOCs), are challenging traditional models and practices. These global changes are having an increasing impact on education and training institutions, teachers, learners and publishers, among others. But as well as challenges, the ICT revolution brings new opportunities – for new audiences, new providers and new business models. Despite the efforts that member states and the EU have made so far in the area of digitisation, European education and training systems are losing the lead in this process of change.
