[Open-education] quick update on OER policy developments in Europe

Wed Dec 4 17:50:18 UTC 2013

Thanks Alek,

Do you think some of this disinterest is to do with assumptions made 
about OERs and MOOCs?

I note that in the minutes Professor AZZOE, rector at the "Politecnico 
di Milano", "explained that developing a single on-line course is very 
expensive (around EUR 100.000) and very time-consuming, since many 
European public universities have a high staff/student ratio and 
furthermore students fees are limited by law. "

Maybe the broad range of OERs (and cost of developing) is lost on the 
Council?

I know that there are pockets of good practice (some mentioned in 
http://www.poerup.info). Could you share any thoughts on how the 
situation can be progressed?

Thanks

Marieke
