Brazil´s K-12 Public Education Landscape

- ranked at 60th out of 75 countries (Faulkner, 2015) - Shortage of computers (OECD, 2015)- K-12 education systems consist of nineteenth-

century schools, twentieth-century teachers and twenty-first century learners (Ramos, 2015)

- Distance education, blended learning and open education hold the potential to fill the gap of a deficient public school system and promote access to knowledge to more citizens (Litto, 2009; Litto, 2014; Haddad, 2009)

Brazil Image 1

Population: 200.4 million (2013) 45 million students enrolled in K-12 public schools (INEP/MEC, 2011)90.5 % study in public schools

Open Pedagogy

Question to ask: what does open allow me/my students to do that I/they can’t do in other contexts?

If we believe that…

people learn through the thing they do copyright restricts what were allowed to do

copyright restricts how we can learn open permits us to learn in new ways

Open pedagogy is that set of teaching and learning practices only possible in the context of the free access and 5R (retain, reuse, revise, remix, redistribute) permissions characteristic of open educational resources (Wiley, 2013).
