About the seminar
Open Educational Resources (OER) as a worldwide phenomenon offers the potential for providing unparalleled access to educational materials and resources. As such, they have been much lauded as a tool for social justice, but the ways in which social justice can be, and are being, achieved has to date received less critical interest.
This seminar devotes itself to recent OER research and practice, from large-scale research and projects on the global potential for advancing educational, economic and social development, to small-scale case studies of individuals and small organisations making use of OER.
Aims and Objectives
- To bring together widening participation practitioners and academic staff engaged with research into, and use of, Open Educational Resources.
- To start a discussion between researchers and practitioners on developing the use of OER in community settings and outreach work to widen participation.
