I found this article (9 page PDF) to be immediately useful though I almost didn't make it past the introduction. 90% of this article is well-written, clear and informative; the introduction, by contrast, is a jumble (so just skip it and move directly to section 3). It begin with self-directed learning as defined by Knowles (1975), draws the connection to open educational practices, and in the main discussion section applies the concept of decolonization to both. It recommends that open educational practices "need to extend beyond retaining, reusing, revising, remixing and redistributing but also recontextualizing," and that "network-driven, participatory practices and collaborative authorship" inform community-driven OER and OEP initiatives.
