Abstract:

Vocational schools in the Netherlands are building a National community sharing and reusing OER microlearning, nanolearning and video's. The presentors show how they are operating at three levels at the same time: at microlevel, inspiring and helping teachers to make great materials, at meso level taking advantage of innovation initiatives, curricula reform and cross-curricula projects to get Open Resources going. And at macro level, finding common software ground, working with the same (open source-) authoring tool and developing a common language. In The Netherlands we’ve done all that with a group of schools and we are ready for take-off! Buckle-up and join our fun presentation!

As a Senior Adviser in change management at a large vocational school in Amsterdam, I truly love the dynamics of Dutch vocational education and training (VET). VET is the true backbone of society and takes a leading role in the innovative educational movement. I love being right in the middle of this rapidly evolving world with lots of opportunities and chances. My special interests are Open Educational Resources and Open Pedagogy, as well as the professionalisation of our teachers and change management. My extensive experience in both operational, tactical and strategic positions in VET and Higher Ed has granted me a broad perspective on the digital transformation we are in.
