Abstract
The aim of the article is to review the strategic benchmarks for the development of open education in the EU. A complex of methods was used for conducting research, in particular: the method of terminological analysis for revealing the essence of the open education phenomenon; methods of analysis, synthesis and generalisation for the study of normative and strategic documents of the EU as well as research results of scholars on open education. The author of the article emphasizes the topicality of the comparative study of open education in the context of the intensification of cooperation between Ukraine and the EU on the development of the information society; analyses the transformation of the concept of open education in the world space; outlines modern approaches to the interpretation of the phenomenon of open education under digital revolution and globalization. It is concluded that over a fairly short period of time there was an evolution of the concept of “open education”, i.e. from the initial one, associated with the idea of the first open universities (free access to learning), to modern, which, in addition to open access to educational resources, presupposes active participation and interaction of participants under lifelong learning and life-wide learning dimensions. The EU position on open education is characterized, the nature of the EU initiatives on building open education is revealed. The strategy of open education is seen as an integral part of the education and training development strategy, as well as strategies for building the EU on the basis of knowledge economy and social cohesion. The Strategy comprises three components, i.e. open learning environments: opportunities to innovate for organisations, teachers and learners; open educational resources: opportunities to use open knowledge for better quality and access; connectivity and innovation: partnerships for infrastructures, new products and services, and interoperability. It is stressed that the strategy involves interaction at all levels and of all stakeholders vertically and horizontally: between EU and the Member-States, central government, regional and local educational authorities, educational institutions; the education sector and employers; educators, students, parents; formal and informal education.
