Policy Brief » How Openness Impacts on Higher Education
By UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education
This policy brief emphasizes the increasing importance of openness in education, particularly through the promotion of Open Educational Resources. Initiatives such as the UNESCO World OER Congress and UNESCO/COL policy recommendations encourage governments and higher education institutions to explore, implement, and assess the impact of open educational resources. These projects aim to improve access to educational materials while also encouraging transparency and engagement in learning. Openness is leading to significant changes in teaching and learning techniques, making educational resources more accessible and collaborative, and transforming higher education policy.
