Objective 3: Societal interaction

By 2025, open education will be a significant part of the societal interaction of the higher education and research community.

Actions required to achieve the objective:

1. Teaching that is open to everyone. Higher education institutions provide more teaching that is open to everyone.

   i) Higher education institutions clarify and communicate how to participate in teaching open to everyone, including contact teaching.

2. Open badges. Higher education institutions grant open badges in accordance with the standards or other credits for the open education accomplishments.
3. Scientific communication and science education. Higher education institutions and other organisations promoting open education cooperate in implementing scientific communicationEducation-footnote-4 and science educationEducation-footnote-5 in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee for Public Information and the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies.
4. Educational data. From 2023 onwards at the latest, higher education institutions plan the open sharing of educational data in accordance with responsible data management practices.

   i) By 2023, higher education institutions will agree in the Digivision 2030 project on the best practices for opening educational data.

   ii) By 2024, higher education institutions will begin in the Digivision 2030 project to design services to enable the opening of educational data.

5. Cooperation and research. Higher education institutions and other organisations promoting open education cooperate nationally and internationally in the development of and research into open education.

Open educational practices mean practices by which education, learning and teaching are made transparent and shared and which enable their further processing. Such practices include:

• peer learning and the development of education between students, researchers, teaching staff and the rest of the society;
• involving students in the planning of their learning pathways, including the identification and recognition of competences acquired outside their own educational establishment;
• opening up the education offering to the general public (e.g. MOOC courses);
• sharing and reuse of information relating to the planning and organising of teaching (e.g. curricula, evaluation methods, guidelines, experiences from the implementation of teaching and from learning);
• use, further development and joint development of open educational resources (e.g. videos, podcasts, written material)

Availability refers to the accessibility of information in, for example, a public document. This means that the information in the document can be used at the desired time and in the required manner. An accessible document may, for example, be openly accessible or available on request.

Med MyData (egendata) avses en människoorienterad approach till hantering av data som gäller individer. Målet med MyData är att en person själv kan hantera användningen av sina personuppgifter på ett sätt som stöder (åter)användning, interoperabilitet, maskinläsbarhet och tydlighet. MyData kan även avse en delmängd personuppgifter som uppfyller tidigare nämnda egenskaper. Principerna för MyData är människoorienterad hantering av personuppgifter, individen som ”integrationspunkt” – det vill säga den som möjliggör informationsflödet – stärkande av individen, möjlighet att överföra information, transparens och ansvarsfullhet samt interoperabilitet. Med hjälp av dessa principer i MyData-deklarationen är det möjligt att granska i vilken grad MyData förverkligas.

MyDatalla (omadatalla) tarkoitetaan ihmiskeskeistä lähestymistapaa henkilöön liittyvän tiedon hallintaan. MyDatalla tavoitellaan sitä, että henkilö itse voi jatkokäyttää ja hallinnoida omia henkilöä koskevien tietojensa (jatko)käyttöä yhteentoimivalla, koneluettavalla ja selkeällä tavalla. MyDatalla voidaan tarkoittaa myös henkilötietojen osajoukkoa, jossa edellä mainitut ominaisuudet toteutuvat. MyDatan periaatteet ovat ihmiskeskeinen henkilötiedon hallinta, yksilö ”integraatiopisteenä” – eli tiedonliikkumisen mahdollistajana – yksilön voimaannuttaminen, tiedon siirrettävyys, läpinäkyvyys ja vastuullisuus sekä yhteentoimivuus. Näiden MyData-julistuksessa aukikirjoitettujen periaatteiden avulla voidaan tarkastella MyDatan toteutumisastetta

MyData refers to a people-centred approach to managing person-related information. MyData aims to enable individuals to continue to use and manage the (continued) use of their personal data in an interoperable, machine-readable and clear manner. MyData can also refer to a subset of personal data in which the above features are realised. MyData’s principles involve peoplecentred management of personal data, the individual as the “integration point” – that is, the enabler of the information flow, the individual’s empowerment, transferability of data, transparency and responsibility, and interoperability. These principles, written out in the MyData declaration can be used to examine the degree of implementation of MyData.

Open badges are created and awarded to identify and recognise competence, skills and achievements. Open badges are often associated with making nonformal learning visible. Open badges aim to identify and recognise, for example, what we learn at work, in our hobbies or in various positions of trust. They are seen as a means of supporting lifelong learning and employment and are aimed at preventing social exclusion.

The original idea of open badges is not only to make nonformal learning visible, but also to better identify competences when, in addition to organisations, individuals and communities can identify and recognise their own or each other’s competence, skills and achievements.

From a technical point of view, an open badge is an image that contains metadata. Metadata indicates who has granted the badge to whom, what the badge recognises and stands for and the criteria on which it is based. Metadata follows the Open Badge standard, which can be used to verify whether the badge is genuine and valid.

Educational data refers to information accumulated on different platforms during the process of education.
