open education
Open education refers to a teaching and learning approach that promotes free access to educational resources, materials, and opportunities. This concept encourages collaboration and sharing among educators and learners, allowing anyone to participate in the learning process without financial or institutional barriers.
Key components of open education include open educational resources (OER), which are freely available materials like textbooks and videos, and open courses, which provide online learning experiences accessible to all. This movement aims to enhance educational equity and foster a global community of learners and educators.
