OPEN educational resources OER Credo Might Be: “One for All and All for One” (Motto of the King’s Musketeers in Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers ) Collective innovations across OER Yale’s contribution (video, faculty recruitment, IP/collections, full arts & sciences curriculum, innovation in humanities/arts) What can we do as one?

(Motto of the King’s Musketeers in Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers )

Collective innovations across OER

Yale’s contribution

(video, faculty recruitment, IP/collections,

full arts & sciences curriculum, innovation

in humanities/arts)

What can we do as one?

Confluence of Content and Medium Primacy of teaching in the Yale classroom and beyond University gateways aligns with the aims of Hewlett-sponsored OER Reaching beyond the University to make Yale teaching assets more accessible dovetails with Yale globalization overall Video as the optimum vehicle

Introducing the Yale Open educational resources Goal: to Open the Yale classroom worldwide and free over the Internet through a curriculum of 36 Yale College courses, produced by Yale’s CMI2 and surrounded with a rich array of OCW elements

Why ? What can be achieved with video that is less possible without it? The Person : go beyond-the-syllabus by featuring the real professor and his or her unique pedagogical approach and how educational materials can be variously presented and interpreted The Place : open the live college classroom and share worldwide the wonderment of teaching and learning The Learning Process : facilitate widespread “auditing” of full courses online, accessible through a variety of options (video, audio, and text transcriptions) and, by so doing, underscore that learning is not only about accessing instantaneous information, but also about a more gradual intellectual evolution The Creative Remix : emphasize that one can go beyond auditing and actively interact with the content of a full course, picking and choosing what to view and what to use and remix in another context

Best Practices: Content The Element of Choice Building a curriculum (subjects and faculty) Video quality and whether it matters Faculty effectiveness via video Strategies for making videos more effective in content and presentation The student side of the teaching and learning equation The IP challenge especially for the humanities and the arts

The Element of Choice

Building a curriculum (subjects and faculty)

Video quality and whether it matters

Faculty effectiveness via video

Strategies for making videos more effective in content and presentation

The student side of the teaching and learning equation

The IP challenge especially for the humanities and the arts
