The openED project brings together stakeholders in formal and informal education from different countries to collaboratively build up an open educational framework. It aims to increase the speed of innovation in education, to ensure continuous provision of up to date and relevant learning materials, and to promote participatory learning including active learning, creative problem solving, learning by doing, critical thinking and creativity.
In order to achieve these aims, the consortium established the following key objectives for the openED project:
• Run the openED 2.0 course as a free and open course;
• Develop experimental approaches for participatory learning and teaching within open educational environments;
• Implement and test those approaches by means of 3 consecutive pilots to promote continuity, community building and evolutionary growth;
• Develop a sustainability framework and revenue models, to be implemented and tested alongside the pilots, to assure financial self-sustainability for such scenarios;
• Analyze the results & benchmark them against initial assumptions;
• Evaluate the project, disseminate outcomes and provide the basis for transferring the results to the wider community.
