The Opened 2.0 project, funded by the European Commission, involves seven European organizations collaborating to create an open business and management course aimed at enhancing participatory learning in educational environments. The project explores various research questions related to community dynamics, materials, and learning in comparison to formal and informal education, utilizing a range of research methods. Preliminary findings indicate that adopting an open educational service approach is complex and raises various challenges, necessitating further research into curriculum design, participant engagement, and motivations.

Preliminary Findings adopting an Open Educational Service approach introduces much more complexity than simply re-using OER issues of international, inter-institutional curriculum design include languages, student support levels & coherence issues of designing learning for international online participation include timetabling & varying levels of participant commitment issues of OER reuse include audience & author motivations Implications & Impact more research needed into the development trajectories of materials, participants’ work & community interest in amalgamated international satisfaction survey proposal from UNU for Open Education Service Platform http://www.open-ed.eu
