OpenEdTech
Guiding principles for Open EdTech:
1. Education is a basic human right and Open EdTech can best enable equitable access to quality
education for everyone on Earth.
2. We strongly support open standards and interoperability.
3. Control of education technology should be collectively shared.
4. We want to empower educators and learners to improve our world.
5. Education should drive technology, not the reverse.
6. We encourage strategic alliances and networks for those around Open EdTech.
7. Open EdTech should be the most well-designed, competitive and sustainable technology available.
8. We embrace the best of open source practices.
9. We want to build on what already exists, including standards and tools.
10. Openness in EdTech should include transparency about sustainability models.
11. We work closely with our diverse communities to define our goals and roadmaps.
12. We understand and respect diversity when creating and recommending Open EdTech tools and
resources.

2. Developing an institutional strategy
Developing a framework

Vision, Leadership and Governance
Fostering digital
transformation
In building up a DELT strategy, base policies
or governance on the different forms and
scales of digital transformation, on
empowering collaboration with openness
and shared ambition and on encouraging
alignment of the institution’s quality
assurance framework and benchmarks with
the planned digital transformation.
3
Understanding that
collaboration is crucial
Digital transformation can take many
different forms (digitisation,
digitalisation, digital ecosystem) and
implies a commitment to institutional
change
Collaboration is important to build
shared ownership of the priorities
2
Recognising that
change does not follow
a straight line
periodic readjustment of the
institutional strategy
leaders and ambassadors for
change
quality assurance framework
1

People, Community and Stakeholders
1
Self-assessment & institutional
community
Undertake an audit or self-assessment of the current
situation in your institution to identify the gaps and
strategic priorities for development over the next five
years; involve educators, students and stakeholders
in the process and consider the impact on the
institutional community in the planning of
development measures.
3
Students
Flexibility, to switch between in-person
and online modes, personalisation and
opportunities, inclusion and equality of
access
student-led learning and co-creation
5
Communities
Digital communities of practice are
wielding the power of the collective,
gaining traction from a range of players:
from the early adopters to the
transformative leaders that are co-
creating the digital strategies within and
beyond their institutions.
2
Educators
Training opportunities, constant support,
validation of educators’ digital skills,
communities of practice, support of
innovative initiatives and explicit
dissemination of good practices,
impactful professional development
culture, building a community
4
Stakeholders
active engagement, participation of external and
internal stakeholders needs to be built into the culture
of the institution, co-design strategies following
collaborative processes

Tools, Spaces and Resources
Open education
Sustainable digital ecosystems
Creation of platforms for exchange
Students as co-creators
Collaboration inside and between
institutions
3
Plan & structure for
blended learning
Scale up the institution’s infrastructure
for seamless digital, virtual and physical
spaces, including tools and a culture of
open education.
4
Digital architecture and
ecosystem
Define the digital ecosystem
Devising an institution-wide digital
framework
integrating mobile and cloud technology
and investing in continuous training and
support
focus on data management

Scaling learning spaces
Digital and physical environment
Building on existing tools and resources
Venues should be adapted or created
