As underlined in the EC Recommendation 2018 on Key Competences (in line with UN, UNESCO, OECD) “everyone has the right to quality and inclusive education, in order to maintain and acquire skills that allow full participation in society”. As Von der Leyen pointed out in her political guidelines, the quality and inclusiveness of education systems is of strategic importance. The COVID 19 pandemic is having a strong impact on this principle. In this phase digital technologies and Open Educational Resources represent a crucial means to support educational systems enabling students to continue learning in lockdown time; but also proved a major barrier for some when access, equipment or skills were lacking. A new digital divide in the EU, between those who have access to innovative, technology-based education and those who do not, is on the rise, worsen the already existing emergency in term of school drop out in some European countries, among which Italy (14%) Spain (17%) Romania(15%) and Cyprus and Greece where the % of early leavers is lower but still far from the 2020 target (PISA 2018 and Eurostat 2019). O.L.A. project promotes the use of OERs and OEPs (Open Educational Practices) for in presence, distance and blended learning among primary and secondary school systems (ISCED 1,2,and 3) of the partner countries. Taking into account UNESCO and EC priorities, OLA refers to the following Areas of Action, actively involving 60 teachers and 1300 students inside and outside the partnership, other 300 stakeholders in the MEs and reaching at list 3000 stakeholder through dissemination activities:1.Building the capacity of educational actors and stakeholders to create, access, re-use, adapt and redistribute OER; 2.supporting development and availability of OERs for ISCED levels 1,2 and3 and reinforcing European cooperation in OEPs and in innovative didactics. 3.Encouraging inclusive and equitable OER quality, as well as OER models focusing on the analysis of a variety of stereotypes (moving from but not limited to gender)4.Improving digital and digital literacy competences in teachers and students5.Improving teacher competences with reference to learning methods for distance and blended learning6.Promotes a critical and responsible use of digital contents, widening the digital literacy competences conception in the computing subject in ISCED 2 and 3 levelsTo lead these objectives a strict work plan will be approved by the General Assembly of the project and monitored by CNR IRPPS. 3 Intellectual Outputs will be realized:IO 1 – OLA MOOC MODULES FOR TEACHERS TRAINING: 5 MOOC modules for primary and secondary school teacher- training will be co-designed by researchers and teachers: 1 –What OER are; 2- RE-USING existing OER; 3- Building and evaluating OER; 4 - OEP and BLENDED EDUCATION; 5: Creative commons and open licenses. Each module will provide focuses for ISCED 1, 2 and 3. The modules will be focused on the creation, access, re-use /adaptation/ remixing of OERs, on the adoption of OEPs in distance, blended and in presence learning. The modules will be developed in a modular way. Formative and summative evaluation tools will be provided according to EQAVET and EQF frameworks. During the second half of the 1st and the 2nd year, 50 teachers from partner schools and from other primary and secondary schools will undergo to the OLA MOOC modules, before to create the 80 OERs provided by the IO3 and adopt OEPs in their working daily life. IO2 - Guidelines for Teachers and educators presenting the OLA theoretical framework, a methodological toolkit, a common glossario -Tesaurus and checklists, instructions for teachers explaining how to use the e-tools devoted to the OERs design and the creation of interactive educational tools, videos, flashcards.IO3 – 80 SCENARIOS FOR PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL: at list 80 inclusive and equitable quality OER scenarios will be designed and implemented in STEAM related subjects, including multidisciplinary and civic/citizenship issues The OER implemented, besides to the specific subject of the scenario, will implement the students’ competences in using digital information and social media platforms critically, effectively and responsibly, promoting digital literacy, critical thinking and consciousness of stereotypes by analysing in texts and digital resources and media (moving from but not limited to gender), information overload and disinformation management. The Intellectual Outputs will be implemented in a participatory way, involving teachers, students and researchers, the National Advisory Boards, whose members are relevant expert in the field of educations, and the OLA LABs community (the participatory Multiplier events in which participants are involved in a process of analysis and evaluation of the IOs) in the co-creation process and in the ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness and usability.
