OECD Analyst
Jan Hylén's responsibility is mainly in one project -- Open Educational Resources, which is a growing feature in the educational landscape. These include open courseware and content; open software tools; open material for e-learning capacity building of faculty staff; repositories of learning objects; and free educational courses. Concentrating on post-secondary education, the project will provide an overview of current trends. It is addressing four key issues inherent to open educational resources: sustainable costs/benefits models; intellectual property rights; incentives and barriers for universities and faculty staff; and access and usefulness.
Jan Hylén holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Stockholm University, Sweden. He has worked in the National Agency for Education in Sweden among other things as Director of Research. He served as Political Advisor to the Minister of Schools and Adult Education and has acted as Executive Secretary for the Swedish Committee on the European Schoolnet, and Chairman in the Working Group for a New National ICT Strategy for Schools within the Ministry of Education and Science. He was a self-employed consultant for three years before he joined the OECD/CERI.
