EL PLAN DE ACCIÓN DE CONOCIMIENTO ABIERTO DE LA UOC: LA APUESTA POR UN CAMBIO CULTURAL DE LA UNIVERSIDAD

Nos encontramos ante unos retos globales de nuevas dimensiones, la mayoría relacionados entre sí y recogidos en gran parte en la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas. Para contribuir a la consecución de la Agenda 2030, el conocimiento es uno de los elementos clave. Las universidades desempeñan un papel primordial a la hora de contribuir al desarrollo sostenible. Sin embargo, actualmente nos encontramos con diferentes obstáculos que impiden sumar y compartir conocimiento con eficiencia y eficacia. Ante este contexto, también las universidades tienen que cambiar y replantearse su papel en la sociedad. En la UOC apostamos por que esta transformación implique convertirnos en nodos de conocimiento. Para ello hemos puesto en marcha el Plan de acción de Conocimiento Abierto que presentamos y analizamos en este artículo. We are faced with global challenges of new dimensions, most of which are interrelated.

For that reason, we kicked of an Open Knowledge Action Plan which we present and analyse in this article

Participatory Final Projects - educating for global citizenship. An approach to knowledge co-creation integration into curricula

At UOC we critically engage with the Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals which are embedded in our Strategic Plan. As SDG 4 proposes, we strive for educating global citizens. At the same time and in the framework of our Open Knowledge Action Plan we wish to convert our institution in a more porous university with stronger relationships with society. To contribute to both these goals we set up a pilot project called "Participatory Final Works" which offers students the opportunity to realise their thesis together with a civil society organisation on real social challenges. Presentation of the project at the ICDE Lilelonglearning Summit which took place in Lillehammer, Norway from 11 to 13 February 2019.https://app.oxfordabstracts.com/events/552/programme-builder/view/sort/presenter?view=publishe

Per contribuir a la consecució de l'Agenda 2030, el coneixement és un dels elements clau. Les universitats desenvolupen un paper primordial a l'hora de contribuir al desenvolupament sostenible. Tot i així, actualment ens trobem amb diversos obstacles que impedeixen sumar i compartir coneixement amb eficiència i eficàcia. Davant d'aquest context, les universitats també han de canviar i replantejar-se el seu paper a la societat. A la UOC apostem perquè aquesta transformació impliqui convertir-nos en nodes de coneixement. Per això hem posat en marxa el Pla d'acció de Coneixement Obert, el qual presentem i analitzem a aquest article

eLearning to promote quality education for all at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya

The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) is an innovative university, based in Catalonia and open to the world, which was created in 1995. The mission of the UOC is to train people throughout their lives, contributing to their progress and to the progress of society, while carrying out research related to the knowledge society. In 2015 the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, an action plan that seeks to address major global challenges and contribute to building a sustainable future. Among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDG 4 seeks to guarantee inclusive, equitable and quality education for all, including university education. At UOC, we are convinced that one of the most effective and efficient ways to contribute to SDG 4 is through quality e- learning. There are several targets linked to SDG 4. For the purposes of this paper we will focus on the one that refers to the commitment to guarantee equitable access to a quality higher education without any discrimination and that mentions the commitment to put in place mechanisms for positive discrimination to certain collectives through scholarship systems
