Definition of open education
Open education is a way of carrying out education, often using
digital technologies. Its aim is to widen access and participation
to everyone by removing barriers and making learning
accessible, abundant, and customisable for all.
It offers multiple ways of teaching and learning, building and
sharing knowledge. It also provides a variety of access
routes to formal and non-formal education, and connects
the two.
( OpenEdu framework report, JRC 2016)

Why is a framework important?
The framework provides a guide to think through critical
questions and challenges conventional wisdom. No
framework provides definitive answers. The answers come
through the insights generated by the process of engaging
with the framework.

What does the framework look like?
For each dimension of open education, the framework brings:
√ Dimension definition
√ Rationale
√ Components
√ descriptors
• Dimensions:
• 6 core: access, content, pedagogy, recognition, collaboration, technology, research
• 4 transversal: strategy, leadership, technology, quality

Levels of policies on open education

Remember that…
It's crucial to identify the stakeholders- whose
policies on open badges? Hence 'types of policies'…
It's important to diferentiate practice from policy
Alignment of discourse (conceptual/terminology)
is crucial for coherence and transparency of
collaboration opportunities
21
EU Countries with recognition
practices and policies
France – FUN MOOC – as an national initiative it is a policy; at
an instituional level it is a recommended but non-mandatory
practice
Netherlands – TU Delft MOOCs – institutional policy
Spain – Ministry of Education's CEDEC – certificate for career
development based on OER authorship (see upcoming
OpenEdu Policies case study report) institutional policy
But are these (digital) certifications in the form of open badges?
