OER strategy for academic continuing education at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg

With its own OER strat­egy, the C3L — Cen­ter for Life­long Learn­ing at the Uni­ver­sity of Old­en­burg has set itself the goal of sup­port­ing and pro­mot­ing freely acces­si­ble (self-)education through the cre­ation and dis­sem­i­na­tion of Open Edu­ca­tional Resources (OER).

As a sci­en­tific cen­ter of the Carl von Ossi­et­zky Uni­ver­sity of Old­en­burg, the C3L is an impor­tant player in sci­en­tific con­tin­u­ing edu­ca­tion in Ger­many. Its courses are aimed at all those inter­ested in edu­ca­tion and enable them to par­tic­i­pate in the aca­d­e­mic debate on socially rel­e­vant top­ics.

By pro­vid­ing learn­ing mate­ri­als as OER — prefer­ably under a CC BY or CC BY SA license — the C3L con­tributes to under­stand­ing dig­i­tal edu­ca­tional media as open and pub­lic resources in the con­text of edu­ca­tional processes, to using them for life­long learn­ing and to design­ing them together. In this way, the C3L makes a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion to edu­ca­tional equity and enables all inter­ested par­ties to engage in self-deter­mined learn­ing and design their own indi­vid­ual learn­ing paths.

The C3L’s OER strat­egy con­tains four cen­tral guid­ing prin­ci­ples. The con­crete imple­men­ta­tion and design of the frame­work con­di­tions for OER are based on the fields of action defined in the strat­egy.
