Global Open Education: A Roadmap for Internationalization

By Jan Pawlowski. The main goal of this paper is to stimulate the discussion on future issues on Open Education and Open Educational Resources (OER) in a mid- and long-term perspective. The main issue discussed is how OER are utilized on an international level. Internationalization and global collaboration are crucial to Open Education:
    * How can OER be utilized across borders?
    * How can OER contribute towards better education for less developed countries?
    * How can Open Education contribute towards better collaboration in Europe and globally?
These are just some questions to be explored and solved in the next years. As a starting point, I would recommend two key visions:
1. Creating a European Open Education community towards collaboration, mutual support and participation.
2. Creating global outreach of European Open Education towards European leadership in both, the educational market and development cooperation.
This paper identifies key issues and potential solutions for international aspects regarding open education. Using a roadmapping methodology, I propose steps and recommendations for advancing Open Education. Download Pawlowski-et-al-OE2030-LLL2. Read Complete Text: PDF Document.
