Ecologies of Open Resources and Pedagogies of Abundance

Allison Littlejohn; Lou McGill

Learning exists in diverse places—education, work and interest-based activities—and in many different forms. The move towards opening access to learning courses provides learners with the possibility to bring together learning opportunities from diverse sites. However, there is a danger in narrowly viewing learning as the acquisition of resources. This view restricts benefits of open resources to experienced, self-regulated learners. This chapter analyses diverse pedagogies that enable learners to capitalise on digital, open resources. It calls for a fundamental rethink of our cultural view of learning and teaching, focusing attention on how we encourage learners to create and navigate their own pathways, placing the self-regulation of learning as the norm.

Allison Littlejohn; Helen Beetham; Lou McGill; Isobel Falconer

Questo lavoro esamina i fattori chiave che influenzano la creazione e la pubblicazione di Risorse Educative Aperte. I dati su cui si basa l’analisi sono stati raccolti nell’ambito del processo di valutazione di un piano nazionale inglese finalizzato alla distribuzione di grandi quantita di risorse educative aperte: l’Open Educational Resources Programme del Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Nello specifico, tali dati riguardano progetti di 29 universita e college sparsi sull’intero territorio nazionale inglese e sono relativi all’analisi delle strategie di condivisione di risorse educative da parte di individui, istituzioni e centri disciplinari nazionali. L’analisi di questi dati ha evidenziato diversi fattori che influiscono sulla creazione e diffusione di risorse educative aperte fra cui le motivazioni alla base della condivisione di risorse, le problematiche legali, quelle relative alla qualita, il problema dell’hosting delle risorse e le questioni relative alla sostenibilita nel lungo periodo.
