Abstract:

The UniversidadTécnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), which is committed to improving the educational experience of its students and supporting innovation in higher education, has joined the Open Access Movement and promoted the adoption of open educational practices and resources that enhance and complement academic processes. These initiatives are: 1) The UTPL Open Model [1] and 2) the accbkp_reditation of competences using Open Courseware contents (OCW). aim was to engage facilitators1 in the creation, use, reuse and re-adaptation of Open Educational Resources (OERs) by applying Open Educational Practices (OEP, or PEA in Spanish). Two years later, the School of Computer Science (ECC) launched the UTPL-OCW project. This project enabled the University to become incorporated as a member of two global institutions, namely those institutions that would assume the role of promoting Open Courseware initiatives such as the Open Courseware Consortium (OCWC) and the Universia Ibero-American Network (OCW-Universia). Since its inception in 2008, the UTPL-OCW project has been producing and promoting OCW content. Moreover, through this OCW initiative, students from the School of Computer Science have received special accbkp_reditation for using OCW content.
