or... how to create really cool and useful educational material using openly licensed content

or... why your students, colleagues, and people around the world will thank you and, maybe, tell you that you are cool for using openly licensed content to create really cool and useful educational material This isn’t just about being cool or about the content, it’s really about the classroom.

the classroom & learning 2.0 open.michigan challenges generate OER who to talk to

a Cartesian view of knowledge and learning :: John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler : “I think therefore I am” : knowledge as substance & pedagogy as knowledge transfer Cartesian perspective assumes that knowledge is a kind of substance and that pedagogy thinks that the best way to transfer this substance is from teachers to students.

the social view of learning - learning 2.0 :: John Seely Brown and Richard P. Adler : “we participate therefore we are” : understanding is socially constructed - our understanding of content is socially constructed through conversations about that content and through grounded interactions around problems and actions. not “what” but “how” we learn (JSB) CC: BY-NC berbercarpet (flickr) http://www.flickr.com/photos/flickerbulb/1477994596 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ See: Brown, John Seely and Richard P.

learning 2.0 - characteristics :: connected : students, staff, & faculty :: global audience : facebook, slideshare, YouTube :: participatory : commenting as part of assignments :: project based learning : authentic assessments and real clients :: technology as a mindset, not a skill : blogs, wikis, multimedia, social networking : collaborative virtual spaces : permanent records of work and conversations more here in Kim Cofino’s presentation - “The 21st Century Classroom” http://www.slideshare.net/mscofino/the-21st-century-classroom

a summary Not just “learning about” but “learning to be” developing the practices and norms of a the practitioners in a ﬁeld to acculturate ones :: sharing as the norm self into a culture of practice :: learning is more about how than what :: participation and collaboration are key a proposition :: learning how to be open is essential to engaging in social learning and learning 2.0

reducing risk OER production typically involves three main policy areas :: copyright and other intellectual property :: endorsement of products or people :: privacy of students or patients

main policy areas :: copyright : U.S. law grants limited exclusive rights to authors of creative works :: endorsement : U-M has a policy restricting what representatives of our institution may endorse :: privacy : the U.S. government tends to protect patient and student privacy

Text: Quotes, Passages, Poems The Mesh We have come to the cross-roads And I must either leave or come with you. I lingered over the choice But in the darkness of my doubts You lifted the lamp of love And I saw in your face The road that I should take. - Kwesi Brew some of these excerpts used under section 107, U.S. copyright law: fair use

dealing with issues :: retainment : you may already have or choose to obtain permission to use content from a 3rd party (must be openly licensed), or the content does not have a policy issue :: replacement : you may want to replace content that cannot be shared with open content that can be distributed through copyright licensing (Creative Commons) :: removal : you may need to remove content due to privacy, endorsement or copyright concerns

A few important distinctions

The difference between OA and OER. OA: Open Access OER: Open Educational Resources • OA focuses on sharing content, but no underlying licensing requirement • OER includes any educational content that is shared under an open license (nix ND) • OER and OA are friends

OA // OER - buddies OA free, permanent, full-text, online access to scientific and scholarly works OER openly licensed educational content

The difference between OCW and OER. OCW: Open CourseWare OER: Open Educational Resources • OCW focuses on sharing open content that is developed specifically to instruct a course (locally taught) • OER includes any educational content that is shared under an open license, whether or not it is a part of a course • OCW is a subset of OER

OCW // OER - overlap OER OCW, single images, general campus lectures, image collections, singular learning modules, paper OCW or article syllabi, lecture notes, presentation slides, assignments, lecture videos - all related to a course

OER and eLearning: a relationship. OER • may exist in electronic or paper form • may not contain enough context to be “instructional” • are always licensed for reuse, redistribution, and re-mixing eLearning resources • exist only in electronic form • are generally designed to be instructional • may not always be licensed for open use

eLearning // OER - intersection OER eLearning intersection represents open, electronic, instructional resources

let’s get to it

let’s generate OER - goals of today’s workshop :: ask the question - how can I (and others) use this content? : while searching for and generating content : while interacting with colleagues :: discover where to find openly licensed content : open content repositories : your colleagues & students :: create resources using openly licensed content : the life cycle of OER generation : techniques for annotating content :: learn where you can share your resources : via open.michigan and beyond

ask the question :: how can I (and others) use this content?

The OER life cycle. Authoring Clearing Editing Publishing Archiving

The OER life cycle. Authoring creating resources designing learning experiences granting permission - licensing

The OER life cycle. Clearing dealing with policy issues tracking content use attaching metadata

The OER life cycle. Editing editing and formatting the resource converting the resource to various distribution media

The OER life cycle. distributing the resource adding value to the resource (creative uses of metadata, search, online communities, etc.)

The OER life cycle. Publishing distributing the resource adding value to the resource (creative uses of metadata, search, online communities, etc.)

post production clearing... Authoring Clearing Editing With post-production Publishing clearing, the system gets clogged up and becomes less efficient Archiving

Pre-production clearing - stages Authoring + Clearing use content created locally (from U-M) choose 3rd party content from open sources that give explicit open licenses (or content that is in the public domain) document all 3rd party content with pertinent source information

Pre-production clearing - stages. Editing display a clear notice of how others may use your work (Open.Michigan uses a CC: BY license) edit the resource to include 3rd party licenses and source citations

create resources :: for third party content include... : author : license information : link to content : link to license :: for your own content include... : title slide with license other info : links to content : keywords, learning objectives, sources https://open.umich.edu/wiki/index.php5?title=Open_Content_How-to 63
