NEW GOALS FOR THE MILLENNIUM“How can we better understand the complexity of the world around us? How are the problems of our world interconnected, and what does that imply for their solution?
(…) The new vision of Education for Sustainable Development places education at the heart of the quest to solve the problems threatening our future. Education – in all its forms and at all levels – is seen not only as an end in itself but also as one of the most powerful instruments for bringing about the changes required to achieve sustainable development.”
Koïchiro MatsuuraFormer Director-General, UNESCO

The new ODeL Practice focus not only on the impactof Networking and Transparency, but also Scalability
Scheme by Cristobal Cobo(EDEN RW8, Oxford, October 2014)
We should shift from Content-centred to Context-centred processes
FROM RESOURCES TO SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
Beyond access toopen learning architectures,the focus of open education
is now on understandinglearning as a contextual process
which can be built and continuously rebuilt
in a shared, inclusive and sustainable way.

Rapidly changing landscape with many new players and new complex challenges for the field of
ODeLArticulated efforts to assure continuity of the
common legacy (theoretical foundations and experience)Globalization of research and practice with
consequent regional interdependenceScalability of practice and wide impact of new
forms of delivery (ex: MOOCs)New regulatory frameworks (ex: quality evaluation)
A LARGE NETWORK OF INSTITUTIONS, ACADEMICS AND PRACTITIONERS
A CROSSROAD OF MULTIPLE IDEAS AND EXPERIENCES
A COMMUNITY’S EXTRAORDINARY LEGACY
WHAT SHOULD BE THE ROLE OF PROFESSIONAL NETWORKS?
Promote innovation, by influencing the adoption of policies, legislation and regulation which facilitates the development of
innovative educational practices.Support the development of innovation, by facilitating real
time access to relevant information and data and allowing sharing of resources and costs.
Recognize and validate innovation by speeding up external validation and assuring the establishment of high quality
international standards.Assure the sustainability of the innovation process, allowing large scale sharing of innovative experiences and by that facilitating
its application in multiple contexts.Increment the duration of innovation, by preserving the legacy of shared knowledge and experience accumulated by the academic
and professional community.
