- Fostering 4.0 digital literacy skills through attributes of openness: a review(Athabasca University, 2024-11-01) Chiappe, Andrés; Díaz Ramírez, Juan Manuel; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; https://ror.org/02sqgkj21; https://ror.org/03ayjn504During the last decade, a growing interest in open educational resources (OER) has developed among educational researchers worldwide. This trend involves the examination of possible effects over diverse learning domains such as the development of literacy and digital skills in the context of the fourth industrial revolution. To address this matter, a systematic literature review was conducted using PRISMA processes on 62 research articles published in high-impact peer-reviewed journals indexed in two major academic databases (Scielo and Scopus). Data collected during this literature review showed certain conditions that must be met to ensure a successful learning setup when OER are involved. Moreover, qualitative analysis revealed that certain attributes of openness are often more influential than others in the development of adequate literacy skills for the artificial intelligence era; also, there is an overall positive perception, from students and teachers alike, about the introduction of the attributes of openness and open materials into learning practices.
- Designing a digital ecosystem for complex thinking: Integrating open educational resources with sustainable development goals(ESIC 2024, 2024-10-13) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Turpo Gebera, Osbaldo; https://ror.org/03ayjn504This paper presents an approach to sustainability education through the design and testing of a digital ecosystem integrating Open Educational Resources (OER) within complex learning environments. By employing OER in the pedagogical strategy, the study aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, aiming to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education. We examine how these resources, coupled with self-regulated learning strategies, prepare learners to address sustainability challenges. The research demonstrates the utility of OER in facilitating accessible innovative teaching and learning methods that can be customized to various educational contexts, supporting curriculum development that embeds sustainable principles. The role of OER in educational technology and e-learning is explored, emphasizing their potential to democratize access to education and enable a participatory approach to learning. The findings indicate that OER facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and skills pertinent to sustainability and empower learners to become proactive, self-directed participants in their educational journey towards sustainability. Finally, the paper offers insights into inclusive education practices that foster sustainability, thereby contributing to a more sustainable future.

- Forecasting gender in open education competencies: A machine learning approach(IEEEXplore, 2023-11-29) Ibarra Vázquez, Gerardo; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; https://ror.org/03ayjn504This article aims to study the performance of machine learning models in forecasting gender based on the students' open education competency perception. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 326 students from 26 countries using the eOpen instrument. The analysis comprises 1) a study of the students' perceptions of knowledge, skills, and attitudes or values related to open education and its sub-competencies from a 30-item questionnaire using machine learning models to forecast participants' gender, 2) validation of performance through cross-validation methods, 3) statistical analysis to find significant differences between machine learning models, and 4) an analysis from explainable machine learning models to find relevant features to forecast gender. The results confirm our hypothesis that the performance of machine learning models can effectively forecast gender based on the student's perceptions of knowledge, skills, and attitudes or values related to open education competency.
- Predicting open education competency level: A machine learning approach(Science Direct, 2023-11) Ibarra Vázquez, Gerardo; Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Buenestado Fernández, Mariana; Olague, Gustavo; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; https://ror.org/046ffzj20; https://ror.org/04znhwb73This article aims to study open education competency data through machine learning models to determine whether models can be built on decision rules using the features from the students' perceptions and classify them by the level of competency. Data was collected from a convenience sample of 326 students from 26 countries using the eOpen instrument. Based on a quantitative research approach, we analyzed the eOpen data using two machine learning models considering these findings: 1) derivation of decision rules from students' perceptions of knowledge, skills, and attitudes or values related to open education to predict their competence level using Decision Trees and Random Forests models, 2) analysis of the prediction errors in the machine learning models to find bias, and 3) description of decision trees from the machine learning models to understand the choices that both models made to predict the competency levels. The results confirmed our hypothesis that the students' perceptions of their knowledge, skills, and attitudes or values related to open education and its sub-competencies produced satisfactory data for building machine learning models to predict the participants' competency levels.
- Editorial: Open education for sustainable development: Contributions from emerging technologies and educational innovation(Frontiers, 2023-02-16) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Rodríguez Abitia, Guillermo; Hernández Montoya, Diana; López Caudana, Edgar Omar; González González, Carina; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyThe difficulties in carrying out formal educational processes are not a novelty; historically, some examples, such as the cuneiform pictograms dating back to 3000 B.C., speak of the problems that the Sumerian people had in educating, disseminating the knowledge to reach future generations, and finding ways to translate the representations into productive processes. It has been 5000 years since those Mesopotamian schools tried to establish a systematization of knowledge through educational institutions. From this perspective, we must understand that educational institutions must constantly be moving, pending social dynamics, adapting, and in many cases, anticipating the transformations that human beings undergo in their daily lives. We must understand excellence as Galeano commented, “Utopia is on the horizon. I walk two steps, it moves two steps away, and the horizon moves ten more steps away. So, what is a utopia for? That’s what it’s for, to walk.
- Responding to the Initial Challenge of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Analysis of International Responses and Impact in School and Higher Education(MDPI, 2022-02-07) Stracke, Christian M.; Burgos, Daniel; Santos-Hermosa, Gema; Bozkurt, Aras; Sharma, Ramesh Chander; Swiatek Cassafieres, Cécile; dos Santos, Andreia Inamorato; Mason, Jon; Ossiannilsson, Ebba; Shon, Jin Gon; Wan, Marian; Obiageli Agbu, Jane-Frances; Farrow, Robert; Karakaya, Özlem; Nerantzi, Chrissi; Ramírez-Montoya, María Soledad; Conole, Grainne; Cox, Glenda; Truong, Vi; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyThis paper presents and analyses solutions where open education and open science were utilised to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education. The COVID-19 outbreak and associated lockdowns created huge challenges in school and higher education, demanding sudden responses which aimed to sustain pedagogical quality. Responses have varied from conservative to radically innovative. Universally, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted and shocked societies worldwide, and education systems were on the front line. The lockdowns largely stopped face-to-face and formal education in almost all countries, and in most cases, distance learning soon became the ‘new normal’. A central challenge concerned sustaining educational visions and ideals in such circumstances. To better understand the state of the art in the educational landscape, we collected case studies from 13 countries during the first year of the pandemic starting on 11 March 2020 (when the World Health Organization declared a pandemic). This paper presents summaries of the full country reports that were collected and describe lessons learned. Our overall aim was to identify good practices and recommendations from the collected case studies that can be taken forward in the future. We categorised the responses on the three generic educational levels (macro, meso and micro) and identified seven key aspects and trends that are valid for all or most countries: (1) formal education at a distance for first time; (2) similar approaches for formal education; (3) missing infrastructure and sharing open educational resources; (4) diverse teaching and learning methods and practices; (5) open education and access to open educational resources; (6) urgent need for professional development and training for teachers and (7) assessing and monitoring learning environments, teachers and students. Finally, we identified key recommendations on how open education and open science can benefit formal education in schools and universities in the future, namely, improved awareness of open educational practices, provision of ICT infrastructure, embracing and sustaining the practice of open access publications and OERs, capacity building for stakeholders and finally encouraging research and development in the area of open education and open science. We found significant evidence for the proposition that open education and open science can support both traditional face-to-face and distance learning.
- Impact of COVID-19 on Formal Education: An International Review of Practices and Potentials of Open Education at a Distance(2022) Ramírez Montoya, María Soledad; Stracke, Christian M.; Chander Sharma, Ramesh; Bozkurt, Aras; Burgos, Daniel; Swiatek Cassafieres, Cécile; Inamorato dos Santos, Andreia; Mason, Jon; Ossiannilsson, Ebba; Santos Hermosa, Gema; Gon Shon, Jin; Wan, Marian; Obiageli Agbu, Jane Frances; Farrow, Robert; Karakaya, Özlem; Nerantzi, Chrissi; Conole, Grainne; Truong, Vi; Cox, Glenda; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyIn terms of scale, shock, and disenfranchisement, the disruption to formal education arising from COVID-19 has been unprecedented. Anecdotally, responses from teachers and educators around the world range from heightened caution to being inspired by distance education as the “new normal.” Of all the challenges, face-to-face and formal teaching have been most heavily affected. Despite some education systems demonstrating resilience, a major challenge is sustaining quality and inclusiveness in formal education suddenly delivered at a distance. In probing these issues, this article profiles international perspectives on the role of open education in responding to the impact on formal school and higher education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. We proceed by highlighting and analysing practices and case studies from 13 countries representing all global regions, identifying and discussing the challenges and opportunities that have presented themselves. Reports cover the period from the beginning of 2020 until 11 March 2021, the first anniversary of the COVID-19 outbreak as declared by the World Health Organization. In our comparative study, we identify seven key aspects of which three (missing infrastructure and sharing OER, open education and access to OER, and urgent need for professional development and training for teachers) are directly related to open education at a distance. After comparing examples of existing practice, we make recommendations and offer insights into how open education strategies can lead to interventions that are effective and innovative—to improve formal education at a distance in schools and universities in the future.
- Challenges for Open Education with Educational Innovation: A Systematic Literature Review(MDPI, 2020-09-02) Ramírez Montoya, María SoledadOpen education can enrich learning environments and support the processes of educational innovation. The objective of this article is to analyze the evidence published about open education in the period 2014–2019 to identify future challenges. We performed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), identifying 245 articles on the topic of open education in the databases, Web of Science (WOS), and Scopus, from January 2014 to June 2019. We filtered to obtain the most relevant data by applying inclusion, exclusion, and quality criteria. The results yield information on (1) the characteristics of the publications; (2) the methodological trends; (3) the central and transversal dimensions of the topic; and (4) the innovative educational practices that have been implemented. The article concludes with a presentation of the challenges that are linked to coverage, empirical evidence, co-creation, and innovation. The contribution of this research is to add value to the body of knowledge available to trainers, researchers, and decision-makers interested in open education and educational innovation.
