Quality Learning

When education moves online, that creates a need for new learning materials that are available online, can be broadly disseminated via the internet, can be displayed to and used by learners on technological devices such as computers, smartphones, or tablets, are up-to-date, affordable and available for public schools, in line with schools’ curricula, and matching the individual needs of the learners and their educators. Three trends have made such technology-compatible, up-to-date, high-quality learning materials tailored to individual students’ needs wanted at large scale: The pandemic-induced home schooling, the generally increasing importance of learning with educational technology, and the trend towards personalized learning. While the educational technology infrastructure is being developed at scale, the experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic have revealed that the development of learning materials for online learning lags behind. This article proposes a simple solution to all of these problems: Systematic crowdsourced creation of open educational resources.

Compare And Contrast

One of the key concepts in the right to education is access: access to the means to fully develop as human beings as well as access to the means to gain skills, knowledge and credentials. This is an important perspective through which to examine the solutions to access enabled by Open Educational Resources (OER) and online learning. The authors compare and contrast OER and online learning and their potential for addressing human rights “to” and “in” education. The authors examine OER and online learning growth and financial sustainability and discuss potential scenarios to address the global education gap.
