OPEN EDUCATIONAL Assets
From 2012-to 2013, the Institute proceeded with the execution of its venture on Open
Instructive Resources in non-English-talking nations. The contextual analyses “Instructive Portals and Open Educational Resources in the Russian Federation” and
“Open Educational Resources in Poland” have been arranged for distribution in
the series of studies on OER best practices. The nation contextual analysis of OER in
France will be finished and distributed in 2013. The IITE distribution on OER in
Brazil was converted into the Portuguese language. The discoveries of studies directed by IITE were accounted for on various global occasions and demonstrated that
these discoveries are normal for some nations and significant for additional advancement of Open Educational Resources: EDEN Conference (May 2012, Porto) and the
Yearly Conference of the Asian Association of the Open Universities (October
2012, Tokyo).
A significant achievement in the execution of the IITE project on Open Educational Resources in non-English-talking nations has been its commitment to
the association of the World Open Educational Resources Congress (June 2012,
Paris) through holding an exceptional meeting and leading one of the clerical gatherings. As a development of the Congress, the Institute deciphered the Paris OER Declaration and Guidelines for Open Educational Resources in Higher Education into
the Russian language to advance OER in CIS.
As an approach to advancing OER, IITE added to the UNESCO/Commonwealth of
Learning monograph “Open Educational Resources and Change in Higher Education: Reflections from Practice” (Chapter 2 “Presenting the open doors and
difficulties of OER: the instance of the CIS and the Baltic States”).
IITE adds to the OER Advocacy Project executed mutually with the UNESCO
Secretariat in participation with the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), the Hewlett
Establishment and a few UNESCO field workplaces. The undertaking incorporates two parts:
(1) OER Advocacy and Policy Development: to plan and carry out a progression of
exercises that will accomplish the accompanying outcomes before the finish of 2014: public OER
strategies drafted and supported and (2) Teacher Development utilizing the ICT-CFT. Target
nations of the venture: Kenya, Senegal, Indonesia, Oman, and Colombia (UNESCO
Paris); Grenada, St. Vincent and Grenadines, Dominica, and Jamaica (UNESCO Kingston
also COL); Azerbaijan (UNESCO Moscow and UNESCO IITE).
IITE specialists fostered an open web-based course “Open Educational Resources”
which was transferred to the IITE web-based interface and afterward reused and conveyed as

Believing sufficient amendment of educational ways to deal with be
a vital essential for the effectiveness of ICT use in educa

on, IITE started the exploration of the primary ideas of the computerized
teaching method: e-didactics and instructive designing. IITE ac
–
activities in the e-teaching method cover novel ways to deal with the plan of
learning goals, content, and appraisal. A monograph “En
–
engineering in E-learning” was ready and distributed by IITE. The
the primary focal point of the book is plan, advancement, execution,
also appraisal of e-opportunities for growth using ICT
indifferent arrangements at various degrees of instruction.
The scientific study “Perceiving the Potential of ICTs in Early
Youth Education,” created inside the IITE project on ICTs
in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), was distributed in
English in 2010. From that point forward it was converted into Russian and
Slovak and distributed in these dialects. To advance a
strategy exchange IITE coordinated a meeting on ICTs for ECCE inside
the II Annual International Scientific Conference on Early Child
MEDIA AND Data LITERACY
UNESCO Media and Information Literacy (MIL) Curriculum for
Instructors were converted into Russian and distributed. The limitation of the Curriculum was examined at the International Media and Informational Literacy Conference coordinated in Moscow
on 25-27 June 2012 by the Russian Committee for UNESCO Information for All Program (IFAP) and UNESCO IITE under the
aegis of the International Federation for Library Associations.
The Conference embraced the Moscow Declaration on Media and
Data Literacy.
A Handbook “Teaching methods of Media and Information Literacy”
has been created in collaboration with the Finnish Society on
Media Education and distributed by IITE. An electronic rendition of the
distribution is available at the IITE e-Learning entrance. The Handbook has been converted into Russian and the Russian variant
of the Handbook has been distributed by IITE.
Organizing Also PARTNERSHIPS
The IITE and ASPnet Pilot Project “Learning for the Future” (LFF)
sent off in 2012 that joined 42 UNESCO Associated Schools from
14 Member States and their accomplices is a compelling model for the
advancement of two-sided and multilateral participation of UNESCO
Worldwide Networks in light of ICTs, developments, and imagination both
of understudies and instructors. The LFF Portal offers help to
association of schools in the execution of joint ventures,
their correspondence, admittance to instructional classes and other organization

of networks of training. The LFF members have been
carrying out joint ventures in the three fields: ICTs in school to
work on nature of instruction, ICTs in schooling for economical
improvement, and ICTs in instruction and New Humanism. IIT
accomplices from public and private areas offered help to
