Statement and report on the National Approach to digital and open educational resources

How can higher education institutions develop a more efficient and accessible system for digital and open educational resources that puts them in control? To answer that question, the Accelerating together zone and the Towards digital (open) educational resources zone have worked together in recent years to develop a national approach to digital and open educational resources.

This has resulted in the National Approach to Digital and Open Learning Resources Statement, signed by the Association of Universities of Applied Sciences,  the Universities of the Netherlands, and SURF. In the Statement, the Dutch higher education institutions agree to work together to create, share, reuse, and purchase educational resources.
