Why is it important?
OER are a catalyst for change toward the open movement and for human rights, equity, social justice, and the common good. The futures of education are being transformed by the use of learning technologies, particularly in hybrid and online learning environments that challenge institutional and personal capacity to ensure access for all (UNESCO, 2019a).
Perspectives
There are still many ongoing initiatives, and much work remains to be done to implement the OER Recommendation at scale, maximize implementation, and link it to the SDGs and the futures of education, with a new social contract for individuals and education that extends throughout the planet
