Beschreibung

Education for all is a bold, audacious statement. But that is the very goal of open education. Can you imagine a world where access to education materials is free? Where teachers and learners have the right to reuse, revise, remix, localize and translate those materials? Where copies of textbooks and course materials can be retained without cost? Can you imagine a world where teachers and learners co-create education together? A world where learners engage in assignments that generate global public goods benefiting everyone? You may say this isn’t possible, but open educators around the world have been doing this for years. Building on the work of luminaries such as those featured in this book, open education has grown into a global movement transforming education. Each year, Open Education Global opens up nominations for awards to the entire global open education community. As part of the 10th anniversary of these awards, OEGlobal is publishing this Education For All book, collecting all ten years of award winners into a single volume. This book is a celebration of their achievements.

Preface

Education for all is a bold, audacious statement. But that is the very goal of open education. Can you imagine a world where access to education materials is free? Where teachers and learners have the right to reuse, revise, remix, localize and translate those materials? Where copies of textbooks and course materials can be retained without cost? Can you imagine a world where teachers and learners co-create education together? A world where learners engage in assignments that generate global public goods benefiting everyone? You may say this isn’t possible, but open educators around the world have been doing this for years. Building on the work of luminaries such as those featured in this book, open education has grown into a global movement transforming education.

Open Education Global has acted as a steward and enabler of this global open education movement since 2008. In partnership with its hundreds of members worldwide and the global open education community, Open Education Global strives to ensure everyone, everywhere, has access to high-quality education.

Starting in 2011, as part of its stewarding role, Open Education Global has provided annual recognition to outstanding contributions in the global open education community, recognizing exemplary leaders, distinctive Open Educational Resources, and open projects and initiatives. As part of the 10th anniversary of these awards, OEGlobal is publishing this Education For All book collecting all ten years of award winners into a single volume. This book is a celebration of their achievements. We plan to update this book each year as a living document.

Each year Open Education Global opens up nominations for awards to the entire global open education community. Open Education Global’s Board of Directors selects individual award recipients. The other award categories are evaluated and set by a peer review committee comprised of past award winners and other open education leaders worldwide. Historically the awards are presented each year at Open Education Global’s annual conference. For this tenth anniversary year, we are organizing a special celebration of the awards separate from the conference. Open Education Global operates and maintains an Open Education Awards for Excellence website where information on awardees can be found, including links to their profiles, projects, and resources. The Award website is at https://awards.oeglobal.org/.

We hope Education For All inspires you. We hope you’ll reach out to award winners and thank them for their outstanding work. We hope you’ll explore and learn more about the many great resources, projects, and initiatives that have received awards over the years. And most of all we hope you will get involved with open education and help make education for all a reality.

History of Open Education Global

As you go through Education For All, you’ll see that Open Education Global has evolved and changed names several times since its original inception. However, for historical accuracy, we’ve chosen to retain the name the organization used in the year when specific awards were given.

To aid your understanding of the origins of Open Education Global and how the organization has evolved, here is a short history guide.

Open Education Global’s origins trace back to the MIT OpenCourseWare. On April 4, 2001, MIT President Charles Vest announced the establishment of MIT’s OpenCourseWare (OCW), a web-based program to provide free access to MIT course content, including lecture notes, problem sets, exams, and videos. He noted that OpenCourseWare might seem a bit counterintuitive in a market-driven world. Still, it is innovative, expresses belief in the way that education can be advanced by constantly widening access to knowledge and information and by inspiring others.

It certainly did inspire others and the interest from institutions around the world to follow suit was so great that In February 2005, MIT formed the OpenCourseWare Consortium http://www.ocwconsortium.org. Less than a year later, the consortium had more than 100 member organizations committed to publishing their course materials openly. At that time, the OpenCourseWare initiative symbolized the movement for “Open Educational Resources”, a term first adopted at the UNESCO 2002 Forum on the Impact of Open Courseware for Higher Education in Developing Countries, as an expression of the wish to develop together a universal educational resource available for the whole of humanity.

In July 2008, the OpenCourseWare Consortium officially became a 501(c)(3) non-profit in the state of Massachusetts, USA. The incorporation documents describe the purpose of the organization as being, “To provide free and open digital publication of high-quality educational materials, organized as courses, through a collaboration of higher education institutions and affiliated organizations from around the world, creating a broad and deep body of open educational content using a shared model, and to advance education and empower people worldwide through its OpenCourseWare programs.”

In 2014 the name of the organization was changed to Open Education Consortium http://www.oeconsortium.org. The purpose remained largely the same, although the organization became independent of MIT and broadened its role to go beyond OpenCourseWare to include other diverse and emerging forms of open education. The Open Education Consortium became a worldwide community of hundreds of higher education institutions and associated organizations committed to advancing open education and its impact on global education. The consortium envisioned a world where everyone, everywhere has access to the education they need to build their futures. It sought to instill openness as a feature of education around the world, allowing greatly expanded access to education while providing a shared body of knowledge upon which innovative and effective approaches to today’s social problems can be built.

In 2019 the Open Education Consortium became Open Education Global https://www.oeglobal.org/ to more clearly emphasize the growing global nature of its members and the adoption of open education around the world. The role of Open Education Global continued to be that of a member-based, global, non-profit supporting the development and use of open education around the world. However, the breadth of what open education entails became larger. New forms of open education enabled by digital technology, the Internet, and cultures of sharing have emerged and OEGlobal members are involved with all of them, including:

Open Educational Resources (OER)Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)Open Access (OA)Open DataOpen ScienceOpen Education TechnologyOpen Practices

Open education has evolved incredibly from the early days of MIT OpenCourseWare. Open Education Global is proud of the role it has played and continues to play in supporting open education around the world.

History of the Awards

Following MIT’s launch of the OpenCourseWare Consortium in 2005, hundreds of higher education institutions worldwide joined, providing free online access to their own course content, including lecture notes, problem sets, exams, and videos.
