education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated
knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education
Learning is acquiring new or modifying existing knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, or preferences and may involve synthesizing
different types of information.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning
...creating, using, adapting and improving open educational resources; embracing educational
practices built around collaboration, discovery and the creation of knowledge...
The Cape Town Open Education Declaration, September 2007
The Open Education Movement:
Open Learning
Learning opportunities that are:● Participatory and collaborative● Learner driven● Free / accessible● Transferable and recognisable● Adaptable to learners' requirements● Low barriers to entry
In knowledge-based economy, those who have the lowest levels of skill and the weakest capacity
for constant updating are less and less likely to find paid employment.
Access and Opportunity
What happens when our elders can't teach the knowledge, skills and values we need today?
Responsive to Future Changes
We live in a changing world.
The skills and knowledge we need can't be transferred by education.
We have to learn that ourselves.
What should I learn?How should I organise this study?
How can I track what I learn? Who and what do I learn from?How do I share my knowledge?
How do I afford this?How can I get this learning recognised?
Education is life: 'not merely preparation for an unknown kind of future living... The whole of life is
learning, therefore education can have no endings.'
Eduard Lindman, The Meaning of Adult Education, 1926
