AbstractIn our theoretical and conceptual article, we propose that the application of Niklas Luhmann’s sociological systems theory as a difference-theoretical approach to the opening of science unveils an openness paradox. We describe and discuss the general concept of open science as currently proposed by UNESCO and posit that only by accepting the scientific method as truly and inherently open, can higher education institutions and science at large indeed be considered open. The paradox arises by analyzing and discovering through systems theory how the relevant systems function and the various structures within science (e.g., publishing and funding) are seemingly destined to be and ultimately stay closed. Finally, we propose a desideratum for open science that could dissipate the openness paradox in the future and once and for all answer the question “Are we close(d)?”.Keywords: systems theoryscientific methodopen scienceopen educationdecentralized scienceopenness Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was declared by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsBenjamin HeurichBenjamin Heurich is a researcher at the Institute for Applied Blockchain with a focus on media education, digital literacy, sociology, and social philosophy.

Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) and open education are key areas in the current development of educational systems internationally. However, little is known about the general perspective of what has been addressed about EDI in open educational contexts to date. To address this gap, this paper presents a systematic literature review of 15 papers where we examined the current state of the art and the main suggestions for EDI implementation. Results indicate that practitioners should involve all stakeholders, including institutions, faculty members, and students, in EDI development to enhance open educational practices as well as in the cocreation of open educational resources which need to consider culture, language, and location, among others. This review of literature contributes an evidence base to support the future development and adoption of EDI in open educational contexts by organizing relevant literature into coherent themes that can inform future research.

AbstractThis article considers selected Australian and international theories, policies, and practices of open and distance education, since ODLAA (formerly the Australian and South Pacific External Studies Association) was formed in 1973, through to the current post-pandemic period. It considers the shifting conceptualization of open education as Australian institutions responded to social and political challenges, particularly the Dawkins Reforms. Open education is discussed as a concept that emerged during the formation of the United Kingdom’s Open University and which spread with the establishment of other open universities internationally, but not in Australia. It is argued that, alongside the rise of open university education, there were important developments in distance education theory. The article reviews the work of Börje Holmberg, Michael Moore, and Otto Peters and their influence on the policies and practices of distance education. More recent scholars’ theoretical interpretations and adaptations are discussed alongside changes in Australian higher education policy and their effects on open and distance learning.Keywords: open and distance education theoryAustralian distance higher educationpost-pandemic distance educationDawkins Revolution Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was declared by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsTerry D.

This paper discusses operationalization of open educational practices (OEP) using innovative, Internet-influenced pedagogies to expose dangers of post-truth narratives. The first part reviews interpretations of OEP (associated with open-access and tools, collaboration, problem-centered learning, and democratic pedagogy) and explores possibilities for creating educational initiatives where students learn to create problem-solving communities mirroring an informationally healthy society. The second part suggests our society has reached a post-truth crossroads. Post-truth was initially discussed in the 1990s—a reification of critical theorists’ pessimism of social structures, controlling narratives and ways members react to critical events, whether through obedience to institutional authority or support for destructive adventurism, creating situations producing cybernetic double binds. The third part contextualizes OEP as ecologically grounded pedagogies through an open source educational processes framework focusing on productive many-to-many online communication and community formation, offering practical examples of open source educational processes curricula implemented in a higher education setting.

AbstractOpenness in education has received significant attention in recent years. To comprehend this concept in education ecosystems thoroughly, a longitudinal study is crucial, offering a comprehensive perspective of its evolution. The study utilizes bibliometric techniques, social network analysis, and text mining to investigate openness from its origin to the present day. The research highlights that the idea of openness, initially linked to open universities, has expanded into broader education ecosystems due to advancements in digital technologies, especially around the turn of the 21st century. Embracing open access and open scholarship as new business models is essential to consolidate openness in education. Additionally, distance education, online learning, and educational technology play vital roles as catalysts for openness in education, providing a holistic understanding of the concept.Keywords: open and distance learningopen educationopen accessopen learningopen scholarship Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was declared by the author(s).Data availability statementThe datasets used and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.Additional informationFundingThis work has been supported by Anadolu University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit, under grant number SBA-2023-94.

University systems maintain prohibitive closures that constitute a closed-loop system: opaque academic practices, control of what counts as knowledge, financial and social exclusion, and the perpetuation of privilege. Yet this closed-loop system is also governed by adherence to values around education as a public good, openness, and authenticity, and education as a vehicle for social mobility. The closures and openings created with such systems are in tension. Open education in universities is entwined in these tensions. In this paper, we differentiate between prohibitive closures and enabling closures. We define enabling closures as closed loops of activity that allow for openings both at the boundaries of the university and within. It is through these enabling closures that universities can adhere to open education as accepted policy and practice. As such, in this paper we explore how open education sits in tension with closed technological and increasingly commercialized educational infrastructures in higher education.

Evidence that open educational resources (OER) can decrease college students’ educational cost without harm to their course performance on different subjects has been well documented, but student motivation to use OER for learning is underexplored. This study investigated college students’ achievement goals of using OER from the perspective of expectancy–value theory. We recorded the survey responses of 246 college students in an education course at a public university in the southeast of the United States of America for analysis. We established a structural equation model to investigate the relationship between their task value beliefs in using OER and their course achievement goals. The findings show that the students’ perceived usefulness of OER positively predicted their mastery-approach goals but negatively predicted their performance-approach goals. In addition, their self-estimated cost of learning with OER predicted their mastery-avoidance goals. We discuss practical implications for facilitating college students’ motivation toward using OER.

Open education has existed for more than 6 decades. In its beginnings, it consisted of removing various controls that made it difficult for students to enter and remain in the educational system. Today, it involves characteristics such as accessibility, flexibility, and adaptability, in environments beyond academics. The student-centered teaching approach has now shifted its focus, prioritizing student learning and giving rise to the concept of open learning. In 1972, the National Autonomous University of Mexico announced the beginning of its Open University System (in Spanish, Sistema Universidad Abierta) with the purpose of offering opportunities to incorporate large segments of the population into higher education through the decentralization of university services and the renewal of teaching methods. In this article, we review some of the university’s initiatives and solutions within the framework of open learning. Specifically, we analyze the changes necessary to renew and update the Open University System after 50 years.
开放教育已经存在了60多年。起初,它包括取消各种各样的控制,使学生难以进入和留在教育系统。今天,它涉及到可访问性、灵活性和适应性等特征,在学术之外的环境中。以学生为中心的教学方式现在已经转移了重点,优先考虑学生的学习,并产生了开放学习的概念。1972年,墨西哥国立自治大学宣布开始其开放大学系统(西班牙语为Sistema Universidad Abierta),目的是通过大学服务的分散化和教学方法的更新,为将大部分人口纳入高等教育提供机会。在本文中,我们回顾了该大学在开放学习框架下的一些举措和解决方案。具体而言,我们分析了开放大学制度在50年后更新和更新所需要的变化。
