Dear all!
If you missed this year's Open Education Policy Forum and our report “Open GLAM & education. Teachers’ and educator’s perspective on digital culture resources”. Below you'll find all open resources from our event. We especially wanted to thank our partners: Europeana, EuroClio, and Creative Commons, as well as our sponsor – William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
We’re thrilled that so many people from the GLAM institutions have joined our community of educators, researchers, teachers, and Open Education activists.
Our speakers emphasized the importance of communication. We hope that the Forum allowed you to make new contacts and inspired you to initiate the new Open Education and Open Culture projects 🧡

The research was run by Centrum Cyfrowe in collaboration with Europeana, EuroClio, and Creative Commons.
The study aims at understanding the importance of online heritage-based tools, resources, and digitized collections for formal and non-formal education in EU countries.
The research results also served as a base for creating relevant recommendations on the development of heritage-based open educational resources and online collections for educational use.
👩🏫 Sneak peek at the findings:
According to the teachers and non-formal educators, the more heritage-based tools & resources and online collections are available for educational purposes, the better:
94% of them agree that digital heritage-based tools & resources are important and help teachers and non-formal educators perform educational activities,
84% claim that each cultural heritage institution should develop such interactive materials and digital resources.
Online digital collections and their context information are the most frequently used resources published by cultural heritage institutions:
85% of surveyed teachers and non-formal educators use online digital collections while conducting educational activities,
70% of respondents confirm the use of educational interactive web-based materials (games, quizzes, virtual tours),
64% admit that they use digital educational resources (lesson plans, learning scenarios, tutorials).
The study showed that huge dispersion and difficulty with searching and finding heritage-based tools & resources and online collections are the major barriers for teachers and non-formal educators:
40% of respondents claim "they are hard to find",
32% state "they are not gathered in one place, platform, catalogue",
32% believe "they are not well promoted.
Let's stay in touch :-)
