An Open Practice Manifesto?

Connotea Imports 2012-07-31

Summary:

"Over the last two days I attended #ukoeras11 - the SCORE-led Autumn Symposium for OER in the UK. I worked with a small, fascinating team: Tracey De Beer (SCORE), Tony Coughlan (Open University) , Julian Priddle (Science Training and Education Partnership), and Simon Thompson (head of eLearning at Leeds Met). We produced a manifesto for OER, Open Practice and education more widely which, on re-reading, I think we should all be fairly happy with....It is time to reclaim the radical roots of OER....We recognise that the nature of education has become contaminated by the assumptions and language of business and commerce, and has lost the ability to meet the needs of learners and educators....We argue that the work of a public intellectual includes open research, open teaching and open scholarship...."
