Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as “ivory towers” being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach.

Biographical note: Jöran Muuß-Merholz ist Diplom-Pädagoge mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Lernen und Lehren im digitalen Wandel. Er gilt als Experte und Wegbereiter für die Arbeit mit digitalen Materialien, insbesondere mit Open Educational Resources (OER). Long description: Lehrkräfte betätigen sich täglich als Remixkünstler_innen. Für guten Unterricht kombinieren sie Materialien aus verschiedenen Quellen, sodass sie auf die jeweilige Lernsituation, das jeweilige Lernbedürfnis zugeschnitten sind. Oft geschieht dies noch mithilfe von kopierten Papiervorlagen, Schere und Kleber; im Zeitalter des Internets spielen jedoch verstärkt digitale Materialien eine Rolle. Leicht können sie dem Netz entnommen und aufbereitet werden. Doch dabei drohen ständig technische Schwierigkeiten und urheberrechtliche Fallstricke. Das Praxisbuch zeigt schnelle Wege zu digitalen Materialien, die technisch einfach und rechtlich sauber genutzt werden können. Sogenannte Open Educational Resources (OER) helfen dabei, Unterrichtsmaterialien differenzierter und rechtssicher zu gestalten – und sind gleichzeitig vielfältig und kostenlos. Aus dem Inhalt: • Wirklich freie Unterrichtsmaterialien finden • Urheberrechtsverstöße und Abmahnungen vermeiden • OER selbst machen und teilen • Die besten Anlaufstellen für freie Arbeitsblätter, Bilder und Sounds • Tipps und Tricks für die Arbeit im Alltag Quote: »[...] kompakter, gut strukturierter und zielgruppengerechter Einstieg [...] mit praxisbezogenem Erfahrungswissen [...]. Den vielen Links lässt sich am Besten in der elektronischen Version folgen. Das Buch ist zudem vollständig als bearbeitbares Word- oder Open-Office-Dokument verfügbar« Henry Steinhau, iRights.info, 7.3.2018 »Jöran Muuß-Merholz gibt den Lesern einen sehr guten Überblick über das Themenfeld OER. Dabei steht immer der direkte Bezug zur (schulischen) Praxis im Vordergrund. Gerade Lehrer/innen sei das Werk daher empfohlen.

This book is open access and discusses the re-imagining of the higher education sector. It exposes problems that relate to the way that universities have become over-managed business enterprises which may not reflect societal, national, or global educational needs. From there, it proposes some solutions, including three innovative programs, that make universities more responsive to needs, as well as reduce their impact on the environment. The central idea of this book is developing the ‘Distributed University,’ which distributes education to where it is needed, reducing local and global inequalities in access, and emphasizing local relevance in place of large centralized campuses, with a low impact on the environment. It emphasizes the distribution of trust in place of managerialism and collaboration in place of competition. By focusing on distributing education online, this book discusses how the higher education sector can be set up to adapt to the changes in the ways we work and learn today, and which will be required to adapt to and take advantage of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
