  2. NATIONAL CONFERENCE 6-8 February 2019, SPAV, Vijayawada, India Open Education? What you mean with ‘open’? • Not bound to restrictive licenses (availability of teaching materials); • Not seen as a for profit activity (i.g. students are not ‘clients’); • Encourages the use of open tools; • Focus on critical thinking and not so much on replication. ( OPEN EDUCATION)

  3. NATIONAL CONFERENCE 6-8 February 2019, SPAV, Vijayawada, India So, what does that mean for schools and teachers? • It means that teachers must understand that nowadays people pay for tutoring and guidance, not so much for readers and content; • It means schools realize that open materials are ambassadors of a school (i.g. MOOCs); • It means to accept that the operationalization of the concepts you teach should not be chained to proprietary tools; ( OPEN EDUCATION)
