OERTEST
FactSheet
Provision of Open Educational Resources is gaining increasing traction within Europe, with HEIs across the continent beginning to offer a selection of, or entire courses online through their web portals, or through initiatives such as the Open Courseware Consortium.
The premise of the project is that thanks to reforms in HE in Europe designed to flexibilise learning pathways and brought about by the Bologna Process, the EHEA is in a unique position to experiment develop OER into a new form of provision which merges the traditions of recognition of non-formal learning and of distance provision.
Project outcomes
The project will create a framework for provision of OER within Europe through the:
- creation of a single portal for accessing Euro-centric OER content
- development of quality standards, assessment guidelines, financial models, curricular provisions and any other administrative requirements necessary to allow for HEIs within the EU to assess learning received exclusively through OER
- assessment of the feasibility for EU HEIs to offer assessment services for OER
- establishment of a European network to promote and follow the development of OER and Open Educational Practices within the EHEA
