I am very happy to announce that the article by Robert Farrow, entitled Cosmopolitics and The Commons is published: https://oap.unige.ch/journals/eol-oe/article/view/1632 . As a teaser, here are the first lines of the abstract: "Who is open education for, and where might it ultimately lead us? This paper examines social and political dimensions of open education with a focus on the concept of cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitics. After providing an outline of open education, I proceed by critically examining the commonly held policy position that ‘publicly funded should mean openly licenced’, arguing that it implies a form of ‘weak’ moral cosmopolitanism."
Looking forward to critical discussions on the topic, articles of this 3d volume will be published on a rolling on basis until December 2025.
Please note that the 2nd call on Open Education and the Commons, available from here, has been updated and re-opened.
The entire issue will be published by December 2025 but articles will be published on a rolling basis (as soon as they have gone through the peer review process and have received editors' green light). Two articles are already expected to be on-line by the Spring.
Author and reviewer information are available and peer-review is open in this diamond open access journal.
Looking forward to receiving diverse contributions from all over the world, Thank you!
The EOL-OE journal is happy to announce the publication of two articles on OER in the Global South:
Ouahib, S., Bendaoud, R., Shlaka, S., & Berrada, K. (2023). OER as a certain solution for uncertain times: A reflection on the initiatives undertaken in Morocco during the covid-19 period. Education Ouverte Et Libre - Open Education, (2). https://doi.org/10.52612/journals/eol-oe.2023.e1118 and Laroussi, M., & BenHenda, M. (2023).

Within the second volume of Education Ouverte et Libre – Open Education, scholars are invited to reflect on Open Education from the commons’ perspective. You can revisit discussions that happened in the past, actualising them for the XXIst century context, explore new avenues, reach out to liquid and postdigital perspectives (Tesar et al., 2022), etc.
The EOL-OE journal has published its first two articles, available from https://oap.unige.ch/journals/eol-oe/issue/view/Volume1-Numero1-2022 . The journal is aligned with Open Science principles, i.e. Open Peer Review, Open Access, translation of extended summaries in the 6 UN languages, etc. Thus, an article comes with its ecosystem for increased transparency and cross-breading of ideas beyond languages. The editorial team thanks you for your support and wishes you fruitful insights :)
Within this first volume of the journal Education Ouverte et Libre – Open Education (EOL-OE), you are invited to revisit your research and experience of Open Education to imagine its future.
