How could academic freedom be impeded by a requirement to publish in open access journals? Doesn't it seem just a bit too luxurious to turn this principle into something about the business model journals use?

Is OA the flip side to privatisation of Higher Education? Is there a way in which OA is a means of justifying the economic inaccessibility of HE by providing a public good?

Open Educational Resources (OER) and Practices (OEP) have recently become hot topics, not only for educational researchers, but also for policy makers in Europe and abroad. There is a general agreement that openness has the potential to widen access to education and to improve, amongst others, cost-efficiency and quality of teaching and learning. In its recent Communication on Rethinking Education, the European Commission announced a new initiative on “Opening-up Education” to be launched mid-2013.

Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Educational Practices (OEP) are making an evergrowing impact on the field of adult learning, offering free high-quality education to increasing numbers of people. However, the top-down distribution of weighty university courses that typifies current provision is not necessarily suitable for contexts such as Continued Professional Development (CPD). This article proposes that a change of focus from a supplier-driven to a needs-led approach, grounded in theories of informal learning, could increase the positive impact of OER and OEP beyond the ivory towers of higher education.

Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Educational Practices (OEP) are revolutionizing adult learning, offering free, high-quality education to a wider audience, yet the current model of delivering university courses doesn't always suit Continued Professional Development (CPD) needs. This article suggests a shift to a needs-led approach, drawing on informal learning theories, to extend OER and OEP's impact beyond academia. By focusing on trainers in the UK's voluntary sector, a sustainable online learning community model is proposed, emphasizing both resources and social interaction. Academics and practitioners collaborate to adapt materials and share knowledge, fostering discussion forums and collaborative activities. Integrated with Communities of Practice theory and a reputation system, this model encourages participation within an open, pan-organizational community, offering benefits for both practitioner communities and universities in facilitating CPD through informal learning.
