This is a book (354 page PDF) of manifestos written individually or collectively by participants involved in a workshop held at TU Delft in which academics, educators, students, and alumni reflected the concept of "open education". The authors are writing from an engineering, architectural and urbanist perspective and produced a wide range of visions. But there are themes that frequently recur. For example, Mehmet Ali Gasseloglu and S. Zeynep Yılmaz Kılıç argue "Education should... be structured as a dynamic, reciprocal process of inquiry and engagement, one that empowers students as co-producers of knowledge." Juri Mets and Erna Engelbrecht argue that "Educational innovation must move beyond traditional, linear models of learning and assessment to prioritize deep intellectual engagement and complex problem-solving." And Wander M. van Baalen, Thijs Heijmeskamp, and Steven Flipse argue "as transdisciplinary discourse continuously teaches us, this work is not something that should, or even can be done in isolation. It is about a recognition of the interdependencies of various issues in the world." Image: Juliette Cortes-Arevalo and Camilo Benitez-Avila. Via Olga Ioannou.
