About the Conference

The topic of ‘OER’ (Open Educational Resources) is fairly new for TVET. Recently, OER for TVET specifically has been included in the Action Plan of the World OER Congress. OER have the potential of making TVET more accessible and equitable.

OER for TVET is the subject of a current UNESCO-UNEVOC project involving an international literature review, a survey amongst members of the UNEVOC-TVET forum, and interviews with international experts. A first draft has been published in September. Results have been presented at the 2nd World OER Congress. A final report will be published in December 2017.

The purpose of the virtual conference is to share information, experience and knowledge of OER in TVET, which will be used as input for the final report as well as into wider UNESCO practices.

This note sets out the issues to be dealt with in the virtual conference and gives some background based on the current UNESCO-UNEVOC project.

What will the virtual conference address?

The conference will address 5 major questions:

  1. Importance of Openness. There is a continuum of openness ranging from Open Access to full open, including the rights to modify resources. What kinds of openness are most important for which target groups?
  2. Teachers and Trainers have a crucial role in adopting OER in TVET. What are opinions on and experiences with the role of the teacher?
  3. Learning from good practices There are instances where OER have been introduced as part of larger programs. We wish to learn more about these examples.
  4. Experiences with collaboration and cooperation in creating and using OER with the labor market. How are they involved? What barriers exist?
  5. What do you expect from UNESCO-UNEVOC when introducing OER in TVET?
