Vollständiger Text

This paper explores elements of open education within the context of higher education. After an
introduction to the origins of open education and its theoretical foundations, the topics of open and
distance learning, international education issues in open education, open educational practices and
scholarship, open educational resources, MOOCs, prior learning accreditation and recognition, and
learner characteristics are considered, following the framework of macro, meso, and micro levels of
research in open and distance learning. Implications for future research at the macro, meso, and micro
levels are then provided.
