Challenges for Open Education with Educational Innovation: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

Open education can enrich learning environments and support the processes of educational innovation. The objective of this article is to analyze the evidence published about open education in the period 2014–2019 to identify future challenges. We performed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), identifying 245 articles on the topic of open education in the databases, Web of Science (WOS), and Scopus, from January 2014 to June 2019. We filtered to obtain the most relevant data by applying inclusion, exclusion, and quality criteria. The results yield information on (1) the characteristics of the publications; (2) the methodological trends; (3) the central and transversal dimensions of the topic; and (4) the innovative educational practices that have been implemented. The article concludes with a presentation of the challenges that are linked to coverage, empirical evidence, co-creation, and innovation. The contribution of this research is to add value to the body of knowledge available to trainers, researchers, and decision-makers interested in open education and educational innovation.

The opening of access to knowledge is important for ecosystems to have a greater impact on learning, information, and research ( García-Holgado and García-Peñalvo, 2019 ; Ramírez-Montoya, 2020 ). Technological ecosystems exist in various sectors, including health, society, and education.…”

Innovación Educativa con TIC en Universidades Latinoamericanas: Estudio Multi-País

“…Se implica así, una transformación constante e intencionada de la visión organizacional y acciones para mejorar los componentes, actores, estructura y gestión de la educación.
