Definition of open education

Open education is a way of carrying out education, often using digital technologies. Its aim is to widen access and participation to everyone by removing barriers and making learning accessible, abundant, and customisable for all.

It offers multiple ways of teaching and learning, building and sharing knowledge. It also provides a variety of access routes to formal and non-formal education, and connects the two.

( OpenEdu framework report, JRC 2016)

Why is a framework important?

The framework provides a guide to think through critical questions and challenges conventional wisdom. No framework provides definitive answers. The answers come through the insights generated by the process of engaging with the framework.

Policy Recommendations for opening up education

Follow-up project from the OpenEdu framework. It focuses on research and analysis of open education polices at regional and national levels to support policy makers.
