Open Education and the Future - TEDxNYEDPresentation Transcript
Open Education and the Future David Wiley, PhD Brigham Young University David O. McKay School of Education Instructional Psychology and Technology
Openness… In Education? Let’s begin by defining terms
Open, adj. Describes educational artifacts
Open Textbooks Open Educational Resources Open Courseware
Open, adj. Teaching materials freely shared with permissions to engage in the “4R” activities
The 4Rs Reuse Redistribute Revise Remix
While Nouns Differ… The operationalizing actions are the same
Open, adj. Generous, sharing, giving
Your Inner Two-year Old Overcoming the impulse to scream “Mine!”
Law and Policy “Enable” Us To shout “Mine!” ever more loudly, convulse ever more uncontrollably, and hit each other with ever larger toys
Society’s Siren Song “Be selfish. Sue each other. It’s legal. It’s ok.”
Education Is Not Immune This kind of thinking is accepted
Role of Openness in Education? A terrible, insidious question
Openness is the only means of doing education
If There Is No Sharing… There is no education
Education, n. A relationship of sharing
Successful Educators Share most thoroughly with the most students
Effect of New Media / Tech? Incredible opportunities for openness / education / sharing
Expertise Is Nonrivalrous Can be given without being given away
“He who receives ideas from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine receives light without darkening me.” Thomas Jefferson
Teachers Would Be Like Bees! They could only teach once
Expressions Are Different To give a book you must give it away
Expressions Are Different To give a book you must give it away
Expressions Are Different n’t ^ Digital expressions are nonrivalrous
E.g., Online Book We can all read simultaneously
An Indescribable Advance The first time in human history
Expertise and Its Expressions Give without giving away
Unprecedented Capacity We can share as never before
Unprecedented Capacity We can educate as never before
(Education Involves More) (It turns out the Internet is pretty good at facilitating these other things as well.)
Sharing the Stage Technology always plays opposite it’s nemesis, policy
15th Century Perhaps the greatest technological advance ever
15th Century Also the most draconian restrictions on information dissemination ever
The Bible Huge demand for vernacular editions, but illegal (and expensive)
Instead of Obliging… Ramped up production of “indulgences” and stricter laws against vernacular editions
“Whosoever reads the Scriptures in the mother tongue, shall forfeit land, cattle, life, and goods from their heirs forever, and so be condemned for heretics to God, enemies to the crown, and most arrant traitors to the land.” English Law, 15th Century
Collision Powerful new technology, huge demand, outdated thinking reinforced by law
The Reformation Powerful new technology, huge demand, outdated thinking reinforced by law
Alas Our day isn’t that different
Course Management Systems Technology used against its own potential made to conceal and withhold
2008 Professor in Southern US Claimed (C) of his class lectures, declared student notes derivative works, and asserted control over their use
Makes Me Wonder… Can they ever become professors? Can they ever be employed?
Soaring Demand for Education 120M in higher education worldwide 150M more projected to enter
In India Alone, That’s… 2400 new universities in the next 25 years One new university every two weeks
Collision Powerful new media and technology, ravenous demand, outdated thinking reinforced by law
Sounds Familiar Education is on the edge of its own Reformation
Openness
Blessed With New Media / Tech To be more open? To preserve the status quo?
Role of New Media / Tech Increase our capacity to be open
