Panel on Ministries of Education and Other Key-Stakeholders' View on the Opening Up Education Initiative from the European Commission 10thEdReNe Seminar Brussels - Nov. 6, 2013
Panelists • Christian Gertsch, Educa.ch, Switzerland • Fernando Rui Campos, DGE, Portugal • Joke van derLeeuw-Roord, Euroclio and Europeana Foundation, Netherlands • Karin Whooley, PDST, Ireland • Leo Hojsholt-Poulsen, UNI-C, Denmark • Peter Karlberg, Skolverket, Sweden
Question #1 Can you briefly: • Introduce yourself? • Describe your national/organizational context in relation to the issues and opportunities raised by the initiative?
Question #2 • “Based on the initial experience of the e-Learning Portal and building on the strong involvement of stakeholders, the Commission will launch, with Erasmus+ funding, a single gateway for OERs produced in Europe, federating existing platforms with advanced browsing and search features to help users find the appropriate content” • Do the panel think a single gateway of OERs produced in Europe is necessary or feasible?
Question #3 • “textbook authors, publishers and booksellers can contribute to joint collaborative efforts to find new innovative technical solutions ensuring that high-quality resources are available to all.” • What would the panel like to see publishers doing in response to the OUE initiative?
Question #4 • “Standards should also ensure that resources could be used across different platforms thus enhancing their effectiveness” • What should we aim to do now about standards? (for example given the different, closed ecosystems for mobile apps?)
Question #5 • “to develop quality frameworks for OER and mapping with curricula.” • This seems like a possible opportunity to propose a curriculum mapping project. What should we aim to do in such a project or how should it be structured?
Question #6 • Are there any barriers that the panel foresees and if so what are some ways to overcome them?
Question #7 • Can the panel shares any ideas for a broad response of MoEs and other stakeholders for potential projects?
