Foundation Skills/Open Education Resources (OER) and Open Education Practices (OEP)/Objectives

Open educational practices (OEP)
The International Council for Open and Distance Education (ICODE) defines Open Educational Practices (OEP) as follows:

"Practices which support the production, use and reuse of high quality open educational resources (OER) through institutional policies, which promote innovative pedagogical models, and respect and empower learners as co-producers on their lifelong learning path. OEP address the whole OER governance community: policy makers, managers and administrators of organizations, educational professionals and learners."
