Abstract

OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) has worked on Open Educational Resources (OER) in the past, which led to the publication Giving Knowledge for Free – the Emergence of Open Educational Resources (2007). This working paper thus builds on exploratory and forward-looking research in CERI and invites countries to consider the policy implications of the expansion of OER, its benefits and associated challenges. A small OER expert group was established to discuss the subject, link it to other relevant developments in the field, and develop a draft questionnaire for member countries in order to collect information regarding the policy context related to OER. The expert group met in June 2011 and for a second time in September 2011. The questionnaire was sent to the 34 OECD member countries in August 2011. It outlined a short informative note about the benefits and challenges of OER. The responses to the questionnaire are analysed in this document. Le Centre de l’OCDE pour la recherche et l’innovation dans l’enseignement (CERI) a déjà travaillé sur les ressources éducatives en libre accès (REL) et a publié un ouvrage sur ce sujet, Giving Knowledge for Free – the Emergence of Open Educational Resources, en 2007. Cet documents de travail s’inscrit donc dans la continuité des travaux prospectifs du CERI et invite les pays à examiner les implications de l’essor des ressources éducatives en libre accès sur l’action publique, ses avantages et les difficultés que cela pose. Un petit groupe d’experts sur les REL a été créé pour étudier le sujet, la relier à d’autres évolutions intervenues dans le secteur, élaborer un projet de questionnaire à l’intention des pays membres afin de collecter des informations sur le contexte dans lequel s’inscrit les ressources éducatives en libre accès. Le groupe d’experts s’est réuni en juin puis à nouveau en septembre 2011. Le questionnaire, qui a été envoyé aux 34 pays membres de l’OCDE en août 2011, comprenait une courte note d’information sur les avantages et les difficultés liés aux REL. Les réponses au questionnaire sont analysées dans le présent document.
