As part of the international Open Education Week, Srce will be organizing a panel discussion titled „How Open is Education in Croatia?“ which will take place on Wednesday, March 9, 2016, starting at 11 AM at Srce's premises.
On the panel, speakers from Croatia and Europe will discuss the following topics:
- How and in what ways is the idea of open education approached within the academic community, particularly in higher education, but also in primary and secondary education, and in the context of lifelong learning in Croatia?,
- Where, how, and to what extent are open educational resources available, what are the obstacles to this, and are there any?,
- How much and in what way are open educational resources used in Croatia, and do teachers in Croatia use others' open educational resources?,
- How much and in what way are we prepared to invest in the development of open educational resources, open content repositories, and to enable open access to digital scientific information?
All interested in participating are invited to reserve their time and share their thoughts and experiences regarding open education.
The University Computing Centre of the University of Zagreb is once again participating in the international Open Education Week, which is being held from March 7 to 11, 2016, worldwide.
