UNESCO Develops Indicators To Monitor National Adoption And Impact Of Open Educational Resources

An Experts Meeting was organized by UNESCO from 15 to 16 November 2016 at its Paris Headquarters to develop a set of key Open Education Resources (OER) indicators for national adoption and impact. Formally adopted at the 2012 World Open Educational Resources Congress, the 2012 Paris OER Declaration marks a historic moment in the growing movement for Open Educational Resources and calls on governments worldwide to openly license publicly funded educational materials for public use. It was the first step for the development of policies supporting OER—and the guiding framework for this Experts Meeting.
