A pre-conference workshop – Moving Ahead to Learning for All: From Open Educational Resources to Open Educational Practices – was held at Online Educa Berlin on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. The workshop was a practical introduction to innovation guidelines for teachers, learners, institutional managers, and policy makers with a focus on raising the quality of learning experiences. It was also an opportunity to comment on the first draft of the Guidelines for Open Educational Practices under preparation by the OPAL Initiative. A paper introducing the Open Educational Practices landscape is published here.

The Open Educational Quality (OPAL) Initiative is a project bringing together UNESCO, ICDE, EFQUEL and a consortium of higher education organizations from several countries to promote and encourage Open Educational Practices. The project is part funded by the European Commission Education and Training Lifelong Learning Programme.
This newly published positioning paper presents and defines Open Educational Practices and provides two matrixes allowing individuals and organizations to plot their trajectory of openness.
