Digital transformation, lifelong learning and Sustainable Development
Open Educational Resources (OER) are made publicly available and allow further development and dissemination by third parties. Thus, students can also build on existing OER and develop materials in the seminar that are shared in blogs, videos or wikis. This promotes digital skills and reflection on issues such as data protection and copyright. At the same time, students learn the importance of lifelong learning as well as inclusive and opportunity-based education.
Open Educational Resources (OER), along with Open Educational Practices (OEP), enable innovative and participatory approaches to teaching.
