WRAP-UP WEBINAR on 20 November 2017, Recording on YouTube:
Summary of discussions by the conference moderators, and how this fits with the study to be made available in December. Participants discussed possibilities for further action and the need to strengthen OER and build an OER in TVET Community.
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.
