Open Education
Open Education is the sharing of knowledge, as well as building on existing knowledge, with the aim of global participation in Open Educational Practices and free access to high-quality Open Educational Resources.
What is our objective?
The library supports teaching staff in the reuse of Open Educational Resources for the benefit of Open Education. In doing so, we contribute to the improvement and innovation of education and give additional opportunities for Blended Learning.
Because of this, we act accordingly to the national and international ambition to make as many digital educational resources freely available as possible: the Universities of the Netherlands, the Association of Universities of Applied Sciences and SURF have signed the Declaration on the National Approach to Digital and Open Educational Resources. By signing this declaration Dutch higher education institutions have agreed to work together to create, share, reuse and purchase educational materials.
