Sandra and I did a short essay about „Open Educational Resources as a Foundation for Digital Sovereignty“ for the Education Technology Insights magazin:
Open Educational Resources (OER) matter for digital sovereignty in universities because they ensure higher education from being a dependent consumer of externally controlled content and platforms to being an autonomous producer, steward and quality assurance of knowledge. In this sense, OER are not only a didactic or “free access” topic; they are a strategic infrastructure decision for how universities govern learning materials, digital systems and crossborder cooperation.
