Abstract(s)

This presentation intends to contribute both theoretically as well as empirically to the discussion of a critical issue in Open Education: how to bring convergence to the different domains of the Open Ecosystem, in particular regarding faculty’s functions in Higher Education institutions. We theoretically revisit the concept of scholarship as a concept that describes the multidimensionality of faculty’s functions, as proposed by Boyer in 1990. We compare Boyer’s model to Portuguese law on the four dimensions of Higher Education faculty (research, teaching, knowledge transfer and management), with particular attention given to the potential that the movement of openness to knowledge can bring to each of the academic functions. In the end of the presentation, the case of a Portuguese institutions will be presented and participants in the session are invited to actively discuss how institutions may define their convergent policies.
