“Today there are 158 million people enrolled in tertiary education1. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million2 in 2025. Accommodating the additional 105 million students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years.

• The demand for entrepreneurship learning has been and is still steadily increasing.

• There are obstacles hindering the uptake of entreneurship education, such as:▫ A shortage of human

resources and funding for this type of education

▫ There has been a tendency in academic /teaching communities to perceive it with learning how to start and run a business

What is Open Education?

Open Education encompasses resources, tools and practices that employ a framework of open sharing to improve educational access and effectiveness worldwide.

Open Education combines the traditions of knowledge sharing and creation with 21st century technology to create a vast pool of openly shared educational resources while harnessing today’s collaborative spirit to develop educational approaches that are more responsive to learner’s needs.

OER Process• OER is not just content, it is also a process of engaging with the

materials and with others.

• This process involves ▫ sharing materials that you have created, either individually or in groups with other

teachers and/or learners

▫ using and adapting others’ materials for your own use

▫ sharing back modifications to or comments about others’ materials so that future users can benefit.

• New way of teaching and learning that is more collaborative and participatory▫ Move from content creation to content co-creation

▫ Become part of a growing community(From the OER Commons Wiki)
