HOW CANE-LEARNING AND MOOCS REVEAL AND EXPLOIT THE HIDDEN TREASURES OF OPEN RESEARCH AND OPEN EDUCATION?

摘要

In particular E-Learning and MOOCs can support the connection of Open Research and Open Education through their (natural) inclusion of digital resources and materials. Technology-enhanced learning and online courses are the ideal instruments and vehicles for the adaptation of research results and for their broadest societal impact through the uptake by interested and progressive pupils in schools, students in universities, employees at workplaces and adults in lifelong learning. E-Learning and MOOCs possess the potential to foster the break-through of Open Education in all educational sectors and to transfer the results from Open Research into learning opportunities. Most important is the focus on the (innovative) pedagogical methodologies and the quality of the Open Education as well as of the (adapted) Open Research results. Then both open worlds can truly benefit from the outcomes and advantages of the respective other world to enable a strong impact for the lifelong learning of all citizens and in the whole society.
