eLearning Papers is looking for contributions on "Open Education: Changing Educational Practices". The 23st issue aims to further our understanding of the way in which open access and open educational resources impact educational practices.
The presence of open education has spread to hundreds of
educational institutions across the globe, in particular
centres for higher education and adult learning. Starting
with important initiatives demanding access to information
and spreading quickly into the making available of
educational resources, it has became clear that open
access is not only an issue of accessibility or
availability but also of institutional change and
innovation in teaching, studying and learning.
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
