This presentation was given for an audience of educators and staff at the University of Michigan 2009 Enriching Scholarship Event. It discusses the changing nature of the classroom and argues that creating and using open content in teaching and learning is a key component of learning 2.0. (I've left my notes in for reference).

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

3. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

15. 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

16. 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

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

:: 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

31. A few important distinctions

32. 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

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

34. 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

35. 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

36. 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

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

38. let’s get to it

39. 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

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

41. there is something
different about this

(or content that is in the public domain)
document all 3rd party content with
pertinent source information
