Some Principles of Open Learning
Please refer to TM1 of ReOPEN project for further details, references, etc.
• Online classroom not a place where a teacher’s role is to ‘pour’ expert knowledge into passive students who sit in rows of virtual desks
• Instead, students need to be encouraged to be actively involved in their own process of learning, through meaningful interactions with both the platform itself and the community of students and teachers that it connects
• Interaction as a success factor of open learning

• LO are competency based as designate exactly what students need to do, to demonstrate mastery of course material;
• LO are brief, clear, specific statements of what learners will be able to perform at the conclusion of instruction activities;
• LO allow visibility and portability of such outcomes in the lifelong learning system, in the labour market or in the community and recognition in formal system.

Variety of learning methods for non-formal open learning
by Kokcharov (2015)
Please refer to TM1 of ReOPEN project for further details, references, etc.
Assessment supports student learning best when:• it captures sufficient student ‘time on task’ and distributes
this time evenly across weeks and topics;• the time spent on task engages students in high levels of
cognitive activity;• it clarifies for students the goals they should be achieving;• it provides sufficient good quality feedback, that is
understandable, in time for it to be useful in tackling the next task; and
• in so doing, it develops students’ meta-cognitive ability to supervise their own learning in the future. (Gibbs, 2010)
Assessment strategies for open non-formal learning
M. Teresevičienė, TM1 Unit 2
Please refer to TM1 of ReOPEN project for further details, references, etc.
• Persons demonstrating all prescribed competences in an accredited course or training program should obtain a credential or statement of attainment which is recognized within the national qualification framework.
• In a case non-formal learning program is guided by a formal curriculum, credential should state not only completion fact of the program but also its connectedness to the formal learning programs and institutions.
