Notre devise : "ENSEMBLE NOUS SAVONS TOUT"


et un avertissement de la part de Robert Cringely: Nous avons atteint un stade où, dans le cadre de l'adaptation de notre culture à l'informatique et aux technologies de la communication, les générations les plus jeunes ont monté en puissance et sont prêtes et impatientes de rejeter ces institutions que la plupart d'entre nous continuent à considérer essentielles, centrales, voire immortelles. Elles sont prêtes à jeter nos écoles.. [1](eng)


Les trois aspects clefs de l'Éducation Ouverte sont: 1) le Contenu Ouvert; 2) l'Instruction Ouverte; 3) l'Évaluation Ouverte

EDUCAUSE définit(eng) l'ouverture de la manière suivante :

   * Standards ouverts et inter-opérabilité
   * Développement communautaire ouvert de logiciels 
   * Accès ouvert aux données de la recherche
   * Communications ouvertes dans le cadre scolaire
   * Accès ouvert au contenu et possibilité de le modifier



Si l'éducation est vouée à être transformée, nous nous devons de nous attaquer simultanéent à ses sept aspects [2] (eng):

Les Sept C de l'Éducation.

  • Curriculum : Comment le contenu des programmes est choisi, validé, organisé et présenté.
  • Contenu: The material supporting any learning objective. Ironically, content used to be considered the most important part of an educational model – thus the proliferation of tests. But in the age of Internet, content has gone to being the least important.
  • Coaching: The individual attention helping each student overcome their individual weaknesses, answer specific questions, and leverage their individual strengths, as well as provide motivation.
  • "Customisation" (INdividualisation) : La capacité à reconnaître et à correspondre aux besoins de chaque individu.
  • Communauté : Un groupe de pairs qui rend l'apprentissage à la fois plus efficace et plus enthousiasmant.
  • Crédits: Preuve et documentation montrant qu'un certain niveau de compétence a été atteint (aussi censés fournir de la motivation).
  • day Care: The ability to house students for a specific time.
