Webinar: Open Educational Resources in Vocational Education and Training: a leverage for inclusion and innovation

When: Tuesday, November 26, 2024 - 15:00 - Tuesday, November 26, 2024 - 16:30
Where:
Online
Timezone:
Europe/Rome
Organizers:
  • European Training Foundation
  • UNESCO UNEVOC
  • ICDE

The objective of the webinar is to build capacity of Vocational Education and Training (VET) leaders and practitioners on the use of Open Educational Resources (OER), as a way to increase the innovation potential and inclusion of their educational offer. OER are  teaching and learning materials intentionally released with open licenses, that give users the right to own, share, and in most cases, modify them. Within Higher Education, the use of OER has shown the potential to reduce accessibility barriers and at the same time to support co-creation practices, but in the VET sector the use of these approaches is still limited.

During the webinar, the concept of OER will be introduced and exemplified through some successful practices of VET schools that are using OER in their daily work, followed by a discussion on how to further promote the use of such resources in TVET.
