The objective of the consultation is to explore the perceived need for EU action to promote the use of Open Educational Resources (OER) and of ICT in education.

New technologies, in particular the internet, together with globalisation and the emergence of new education providers, are radically changing the way people learn and teach. Open access to education resources offers an unprecedented opportunity to enhance both excellence and equity in education.

The EU aims to help both individual learners and education and training institutions in Member States to benefit from these opportunities and to increase their contribution to society.

Period of consultation: From 13 August 2012 to 13 November 2012
