Open vs. Closed: The New Mac vs. PC?
- 1. Open vs Closed Educational Resources
Editor's Notes
- Textbook: uid/pw is hummingbird, Go to Unit 2, Lessons, Chemical Equilibrium Open: Low Cost. Custom textbooks can't be resold. Can tap recent studies/internationally known resources. Themes (who vets the content? how do you find it all? what if an open content source changes? cost) Closed: Publisher content is pricey, but now includes great multimedia - simulations on up to interactive labs; Can create a custom textbook New editions always being updated Gag: "dude, I've got a blog on .... and I've even got papers here"; hold up receipt from bookstore; monopoly money
- You are teaching an online course and one of the core learning outcomes for the course centers on students synthesizing and presenting content. Open For student presentations, knowing the public is watching can motivate better performance Students forced to learn about citations and copyright Students can get feedback from a larger online community Closed Students can present in a 'safe' classroom environment Students can focus more on course content and less on copyright Students can turn in assignments within the course - without the added stress of learning new technology Gag: campus blocked access to it
- Open can bring people in from outside - e.g. state reps, fin aid manager at a college, students are "on stage" and thus more motivated to do well. Closed protected from wingnuts and trolls, management options, e.g. Post-First or Fishbowl, private for sensitive discussions or non-native English speakers Gag: out of capital, shutting down
- Students in your meteorology class are conducting research on changing weather patterns. Open Can get feedback from outside community - experts Gives audience/purpose to the research Many times, the tools are more flexible - students can more easily manage them Uses tools students may be familiar with Technical support difficult if content is lost Closed Protected from outsiders - let's students collaborate w/o fear of info being public Instructors can more easily manage and observe the groups to ensure participation Uses tools students may be familiar with Gag: Help is available on our forum!
- Lets walk through her day ------------- Open Has the Google calendar with class assignments (public), the football schedule practice calendar (public), her personal calendar, her class schedule all available in Google. Uses RTM to wrangle tasks. Runs it all from her Droid. Closed Has one secure Outlook calendar, so one place to look. It's secure. Uses outlook to manage tasks, notes, even send email. Can do it all from any smartphone and even do some email from a feature phone. Themes: Everyone has to publish their public data vs. you have to enter it all in your calendar, security, control Gag: login, login, login, login, login
- In the aforementioned meteorology course, you require students to gather information from a 'variety' of sources. How do you define variety and what do you teach your students about the different types of informational/research sources available? Open Current/updated information Not always referred reviewed as rigorously as in closed sources no cost - freely available Difficult to find empirically based information Does your campus own it? Closed Rigorously reviewed information May not always have access to - cost involved many times Many times empirically based Gag: find erroneous error on a blog or wiki... or page from a database that says you don't have access...
- Open maybe it's time to acknowledge that tests aren't great at assessing real-life skills? e.g. Hot Potatoes, no longer supported Closed Secure, password protected, lots of test question options, item analysis, direct to gradebook with results Gag dude, I found the quiz online & posted link of my facebook page.
