Guidelines for OER in Higher Education
Request for comments: OER Guidelines for Higher Education Stakeholders
As a continuation of the COL-UNESCO initiative: Taking OER Beyond the OER Community: Policy and Capacity, we developed draft Guidelines for OER in Higher Education. These guidelines are a follow-up to a recommendation made at the Policy Forum on OER held at UNESCO, Paris on 1 December 2010..
Like the 2005, UNESCO-OECD Guidelines on Quality Provision in Cross-Border Higher Education, on which they are loosely modelled, these draft guidelines are intended to help key stakeholder groups (governments, higher education institutions, teaching staff, student bodies, quality assurance/accreditation bodies and academic recognition bodies) as they assess the implications of OER for their future policies and actions.
The guidelines have been developed through a broad consultative process.
We now wish to extend that consultation further by inviting comments on the draft guidelines.
We are also organising an online forum that will take place from 19 - 23 September 2011 to further deliberate on and discuss the draft guidelines. Further information will be posted on this site soon.
Please download the document (MS Word and rtf versions available below) and send your comments on the guidelines to Trudi van Wyk ([email protected]) and/or Zeynep Varoglu ([email protected]) by 21 September 2011.
