In the Netherlands there is a growing awareness that teachers and school leaders need opportunities for professional development in the field of Open and Online Education (OCW, 2015). It must become usual practice for higher education institutions to share materials with a CC license. Saxion University of Applied Science wants to contribute to a more open educational world and is now developing three open online courses. Saxion University of Applied Sciences has 12 schools with different educational programmes. The school of Finance, Economics and Management is creating three online courses in cooperation with an accountancy firm. The online course will be openly available and all materials will be shared with a CC license. However, this requires that teachers are willing to share their material and that an open culture is established. During the development and the running of the three online courses those aspects will be measured. Results will give insights in how an open culture can be created in the other Schools as well.
