OportUnidad

Overview
How openness of resources can bring new possibilities of learning to on-campus students and also beyond the walls of the institutions?
The OportUnidad project explores the adoption of strategies and channels that embrace the principles of openness and reusability within the context of educational institutions. The project intends to foster the adoption and pilot of open educational practices (OEP), and open educational resources (OER) in Latin America as a bottom-up approach to develop a common Higher Education Area. The initiative also opens the possibility to provide free educational resources for self-learners, in terms of informal and lifelong learning. The OportUnidad project is co-funded with support by the European Commission under the EuropeAidALFA III Programme.

Open Educational Resources: higher education study cases in Europe and Latinamerica (spanish) (13.09 MB).
Roadmap
Roadmap(s) of open educational practices, as a declination of the Agenda to the local, cultural and institutional framework of the 60 Latin-America Higher Education Institutions selected. Based on the Agenda, each university (i.e. partner and non-partner universities involved in the project) defines an institutional roadmap. It is a mid-term strategic plan for the implementation of one or more items of the Agenda that must be considered as a local-contextualised plan in a global strategic plan.
