•  The demand for entrepreneurship learning has been and is still steadily increasing.

•  There are obstacles hindering the uptake of entreneurship education, such as: ▫  A shortage of human

resources and funding for this type of education ▫  There has been a tendency in

academic /teaching communities to perceive it with learning how to start and run a business

Open Education starts with ideas as:

• Education is sharing • Open allows more

rapid building and sharing at a larger scale

OER Process •  OER is not just content, it is also a process of engaging with the

materials and with others.

•  This process involves ▫  sharing materials that you have created, either individually or in groups with other

teachers and/or learners ▫  using and adapting others’ materials for your own use

▫  sharing back modifications to or comments about others’ materials so that future users can benefit.

•  New way of teaching and learning that is more collaborative and participatory ▫  Move from content creation to content co-creation

▫  Become part of a growing community
