OpenScout: Competence based management education with community-improved open educational resources

This contribution introduces the European funded OpenScout project. A basic infrastructure to find and reuse open educational resources (OER) in the field of business and management education is introduced. Based on a discussion of competence based education in the domain of business and management education some selected competence models are summarized. An example of a future user and evaluation group of the OpenScout platform is provided with the PLATO network. Two alternative methods to enrich learning resources with competence related information are discussed, namely purpose tagging and problem collections.
