Webinar Series: OER in Vocational Education and Training: Making education more accessible and affordable
Tue March 18, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm BST
In this edition of the webinar series held jointly by the European Training Foundation (ETF), the International Council of Distance Education (ICDE) and the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training, we will focus on the role of OER in improving access by reducing costs for students.
After an introduction to OER, the session will particularly highlight an impressive initiative by the Milwaukee Area Technical College in the USA. During COVID, the college formed an Open Access Team that has been very successful in expanding low-cost and no-cost textbook options across the college. Furthermore, Susanne Grimm of OERinfo Germany will present the relaunched OER World Map. This interactive map can be used to expand knowledge, share information and experiences and it can help collect data on OER initiatives. Finally, Torunn Gjelsvik will provide an update on ICDE’s new OER strategy and its Open Education Network.
