- 5. Open educational resources Open Educational Resources (OERs) are any type of educational materials that are in the public domain or introduced with an open license. The nature of these open materials means that anyone can legally and freely copy, use, adapt and re-share them. OERs range from textbooks to curricula, syllabi, lecture notes, assignments, tests, projects, audio, video and animation. (via UNESCO)

- 23. Open pedagogy Open Pedagogy refers to a set of teaching and learning practices that are only possible in the context of the free access and additional permissions that characterize open educational resources (OER). (David Wiley / KPU) In practice: “renewable” assignments in which student work contributes to a broader learning commons, such as Wikipedia or an open textbook.
- 24. Examples of Open Pedagogy • Murder, Madness, and Mayhem (Students editing Wikipedia) • Open Anthology of Earlier American Literature (Alumni selecting public domain readings for an anthology and students annotating these readings) • DS 106 (Students contribute to a bank of course assignments) • Grav CMS Open Course Hub (A course website that can be copied or contributed to via GitHub)

Editor's Notes
- Why we do it: Access to education is at the heart of everything we do. Manitoba’s post-secondary sector is committed to higher education – the creation, dissemination, and preservation of knowledge. As such, our purpose is to expand access and connect students to the opportunities that higher education offers. What we do: We provide students the tools to find their educational path, navigate through it, and achieve their goals. Our strength is in finding solutions that come from the collective efforts of Manitoba’s post-secondary education institutions – our partners. These solutions currently include eCourses Manitoba, Set Your Course, Open Ed Manitoba, and Transfer Manitoba. In addition to these online services, students are able to get help from the Student Advocate and our Virtual Help Desk Navigators. How we do it We seek the strength of collective action. We discover opportunities through openness. We create new pathways.
- Tuition costs are rising and textbooks are expensive.
- The rise in textbooks are exponentially greater than consumer goods. The reason for this… [next slide]
- …Is, analysts say, students are “captive consumers” Which means the consumer does not decide which product to buy, rather it is chosen for them, similar to how a doctor prescribes a given pharmaceutical. So the rise in prices remain unchecked. But it’s not just about cost…
- There are pedagogical implications to high textbook costs. In 2001, here’s the breakdown of textbooks bought, and we can see that students either bought them new or used. In 2013, students have more choices. They rented, perhaps borrowed.
- But although there were more alternatives, there seems to be a gap. A study was done about this and it shows that students are not acquiring the textbooks at all. In this study, 65% of students admitted that there was a point in their academic career that they didn’t buy a textbook for a course because of price. When students start out or go through the course without the resources they need, it has negative impacts on their learning.
- Criteria for reviewing a textbook: Teaching at a Manitoba institution in the subject area of the textbook. Willingness to adopt is a factor. Reviewer address these areas: Comprehensiveness Content Accuracy Relevance Clarity Consistency Modularity Organization Interface Grammar Cultural Relevance
- To date, here are their results.
