Topic outline

  OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES

  This training on  Open Educational Resources was implemented in virtual mobility as a part of initiatives to enhance development of innovative learning and teaching practices applying technology enhanced learning methods in higher education institutions.

  Both issues are important:

  - the topic of this training - Open Educational Resources - which is under high priority items in EU Agenda, but which still needs lots of facilitation for individuals and institutions to be taken up, and

  - the mode this training is being implemented - virtual mobility mode - as the international collaboration with media - enriched learning resources, multilateral collaboration of institutions, teachers and students - clearly enhances the quality of higher education and rich learning experience for all participants.
