After years of dabbling with open educational resources (OER), educators have finally begun to embrace the concept as a legitimate alternative to traditional publishing and licensed curriculum materials — and they’re doing it in droves.

More than half of U.S. states — including Michigan, Indiana, Utah and Washington — are currently developing, or have already developed, digital libraries to house their OER. These states are also now encouraging teachers and entire districts to adopt free, openly licensed resources in lieu of costly, often-out-of-date textbooks.

Incontro con Lisa Petrides

Stati Generali dell'Innovazione

Friday, November 3, 2017 - 10:30am - 12:30pm

Abbiamo il piacere di informarvi che su cortese invito dell’Ambasciata USA a Roma nella mattinata del 3 novembre p. v. abbiamo organizzato un incontro a numero chiuso riservato ai Soci SGI con la prof.ssa Lisa Petrides, fondatrice e CEO dell’Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management in Education. La prof.ssa Petrides, esperta internazionale nelle Open Educational Resources, è stata una pioniera nella condivisione della conoscenza e nell’innovazione del settore educativo.

Oltre la Scuola 4.0, aprire le risorse educative e didattiche nell'era digitale

Tuesday, October 31, 2017 - 3:00pm - 4:30pm

In questi anni la scuola ha spinto molto sul pedale della digitalizzazione. Esperienze per l'apprendimento e l'insegnamento come la robotica, le flipped classroom, le classi virtuali e digitali, la creazione di blog e podcast, l'utilizzo dell'open source, sono diventate oggetto di momenti formativi e di applicazioni pratiche diffuse. Tutto questo richiede una profonda riflessione didattica sui cambiamenti in atto, una riflessione che necessita di basi teoriche e scientifiche sulle quali fondare la scuola del futuro.

Research indicates that open educational resources (OER) can change how teachers work and lead to deeper learning and more dynamic, shared learning experiences. The term online resources might bring to mind an image of students staring at computers and struggling to learn in isolation. In reality, open-sourcing education is helping teachers create dynamic shared learning experiences, which is changing what teaching and learning looks like in their schools.

Over the past five years, education leaders and researchers have finally begun to focus on the need for quality, standards-aligned curricula. Now the question is: Where will these curricula come from? Will schools continue to rely on traditional publishers, buying whatever is available in the curriculum marketplace, or is there another way?
