COLLABORATION IN A “BUSINESSMARKET”

http://www.guardian.co.uk/higher-education- network/blog/2011/oct/17/open-educational-resources- collaboration• “Still, you can see that many academics are not so happy sharing their teaching resources, even within their own institutions, which leads to a sort of time wasting process for academics who keep writing and creating materials, producing tons of Power Points and podcasts, but barely sharing them in their communities and externally, and scarcely reusing OERs. We all talk about the importance of collaborative learning, but we dont talk about collaborative production of learning materials and the ideas adapting or reusing open educational resources.”

http://www.oercommons.org/ Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching and learning materials that you may freely use and reuse, without charge. Open Educational Resources are different from other resources a teacher may use in that OER have been given limited or unrestricted licensing rights. That means they have been authored or created by an individual or organization that chooses to retain few, if any, ownership rights. For some of these resources, that means you can download the resource and share it with colleagues and students. For others, it may be that you can download a resource, edit it in some way, and then re-post it as a remixed work. OER often have a Creative Commons or GNU license that state specifically how the material may be used, reused, adapted, and shared.

http://www.openeducationweek.org/• “Open education is about sharing, reducing barriers and increasing access in education. It includes free and open access to platforms, tools and resources in education (such as learning materials, course materials, videos of lectures, assessment tools, research, study groups, textbooks, etc.). Open education seeks to create a world in which the desire to learn is fully met by the opportunity to do so, where everyone, everywhere is able to access affordable, educationally and culturally appropriate opportunities to gain knowledge.”

Social Bookmarking• PROS – 20 people can achieve more than 1 alone – Commenting on ‘bookmarks’ – Staff build resources together – Research students/supervisors together• CONS – Software bought out/bookmarks lost – Equity of effort?

YOUR EXPERIENCES?

Thoughts from the session:• Schools have become adept at sharing resources online, and sites such as e.g. Guardian Gateway encourage this, but there seems to be a dearth at HE level. Is Humbox the first of many, or who is going to curate content?• In the pursuit of the new, we must think about how we preserve old/relevant resources, which demonstrate the development of ideas, etc.
