Abstract
This presentation delves into some constraints in Open Educational Practices. Sharing materials and ideas, along with other inclusive practices of users and creators of Open Educational Resources (OER) relies on: access to technology; digital literacy skills; access to different networks including personal networks (social media); organisational /departmental structures and practices; belief in universal participation in education; and endorsement by authorities. Pedagogic intentions leading to open practice emerging between teachers and learners is hindered by: vague ontological and epistemological assumptions; lack of attention to building competency of practitioners; insufficient in-depth understanding of how practitioners achieve agency with OER.
