Resumen: El artículo se elaboró con la finalidad de divulgar la experiencia vivida en el curso Principios y estrategias de educación abierta para la innovación docente, generado por el proyecto OportUnidad, y de valorar la experiencia y sus recursos didácticos como posible opción para la formación sobre este tema. Fue llevado a cabo en línea, entre los meses de septiembre y diciembre de 2013. Durante el transcurso y posterior a él, se utilizaron diferentes instrumentos para recopilar información acerca del diseño, la metodología, los recursos didácticos empleados, entre otros, por parte de los participantes como de los moderadores. Se contó con un abordaje mixto del tema que consideró a toda la población que respondió a los instrumentos, 36 en total. Como resultado de esta experiencia se determinó la idoneidad de los materiales didácticos elaborados para difundir el uso de los Recursos Educativos Abiertos y la necesidad creciente de aprovecharlos en la mediación pedagógica para la Educación Superior. En conclusión, con esta experiencia se determinaron aspectos replicables para su mejoramiento.

El espejismo de lo urbano ha logrado confundir al campesino, y también al llamado “mundo culto”: a la añorada disciplina de los buenos modales se le llamaba urbanidad, ante la ley, lo social y lo político los que tienen derechos son los ciudadanos.

During the past twenty years Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Educational Practices (OEP) have increased educational access and affordability worldwide. The OER-OEP synergy reflects one of the most promising strategies for increasing access to education globally. Despite significant progress, emerging research suggests the need for a more concerted focus on moving from awareness raising to implementation. This article analyses the current status of OER and OEP in concert with the recent educational response to COVID-19 by educational providers with complimentary mini-case studies from Africa, Brazil, Canada, China, Sweden, and Turkey. The ICDE Ambassadors for the global advocacy of OER, and members of ICDE OER Advocacy Committee (authors) argue that in the six countries studied, there is a greater need and greater receptivity to expand access to education through OER and OEP. To better address the immediate needs of the COVID-19 educational crisis, and to make longer term educational improvements, countries should harness the policy supports and actionable steps offered by the UNESCO OER Recommendation. Currently, we see an opportunity to move OER-OEP to resilient sustainable education and the international policy framework to support such work. The article concludes with some general observations for the way forward.
