Content
Pursuant to Socratic maieutic principles, several influencers such as Sugata Mitra (https://www.ted.com/speakers/sugata_mitra) believe pupils should be given “only” pedagogical contents and psychological supports to learn at school.
However, despite some successful experiments for young pupils, the reality of most of Western countries young adults is to go to university and study in a more or less “traditional” way more or less “traditional” courses. They can trust mostly only their own motivation and support. However, with the development of OER (Open Educational Resources), including MOOCs, produced by public higher education institutions or private companies, professors and students are able to find top quality contents.
French Ministry for Higher Education has been supporting the development of OER for more than 10 years and reaches in 2016 a certain degree of maturity on the subject, with more than 30.000 pedagogical resources available through the innovative portal www.sup-numerique.gouv.fr.
Nevertheless, in Europe in particular, more and more voices speak for a sustainable model for open educational resources.
The actual presentation aims to propose the following: OER will be still accessible for everyone. But when indexed with LOM or MLR and therefore registered in a sort of “streaming platform”, a global fee will be proposed to any company interested in their commercial use. The payment would be possible in euros and bitcoin, based on the blockchain technology.
The session will propose to the participants to join the association of authors of digital pedagogical contents, open or not, dealing with the intellectual property rights of the authors but also of the producers, only when the contents are used for a commercial purpose.
