Open All. Open Policies for User Rights and Freedoms in Science and Education...Alek Tarkowski
Slides for a speech given at the 3rd Global Congress on IPR and Public Interest in Cape Town, on 11th December 2014. The talk was a remixed and updated version of one given several weeks earlier at the Berlin11 Satellite Event on Open Access. The key idea of "Open All" is the same, but focus is shifted from an OA perspective to one that deals more with educational issues as well

There is huge potential for universities and their libraries to leverage Wikimedia in order to expose research outputs and collections. Wikimedia comprises sixteen projects in total, including Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. At the University of Leeds, the Research Data Management Service have successfully run a project that focuses on linking research data with the Wikimedia suite of tools via a series of ‘editathons’, in order to increase the visibility of research data and enable reuse on Wikipedia and elsewhere. The project - "Manage it locally to share it globally: RDM and Wikimedia Commons" - was the winning submission to a competition launched in May 2018 and sponsored by SPARC Europe, Jisc and the University of Cambridge, called the "Data Management Engagement Award", which aimed to address cultural challenges involved in promoting effective research data practices.
The project has served as a springboard to further explore Wikimedia strategically, both at the University of Leeds and across the White Rose Consortium. For example we are collaborating on a new project looking at Wikipedia citations of research from York, Sheffield and Leeds, and the proportion of these that are open access. The long term goal might be to establish a "Wikimedian in Residence" across the consortium. In this talk, we will present the project's outputs - including a toolkit that will enable other institutions to apply the same methodology. In addition we will explore the potential of Wikidata to link up repositories and other data silos in a manner that enables reuse and increases impact.

Open Access Publishing and Widening Public Access to ResearchDr Xiang REN
A growing number of universities and funding bodies have adopted open access mandates that require publicly funded research to be publicly accessible. Research impact is defined as “an effect on, change, benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, health, the environment or quality of life beyond academia”. This presentation reviews the research and practices in widening public access to open access scholarship and identifies the issues and challenges in engaging the public with publicly funded research. It then discusses how to bridge the gap between public knowledge demands and open access scholarly content.

Marvin neemt je in deze presentatie mee in de voordelen van non-endemic advertising op retail media netwerken. Hij brengt ook de uitdagingen in beeld die de markt op dit moment heeft op het gebied van retail media voor niet-leveranciers.
Retail media wordt gezien als het nieuwe advertising-medium en ook mediabureaus richten massaal retail media-afdelingen op. Merken die niet in de betreffende winkel liggen staan ook nog niet in de rij om op de retail media netwerken te adverteren.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

From Open Access to Open All
1. From Open Access
to Open All.
On User Rights and Freedoms
(and maybe also something else)
in science and education
(and elsewhere)
Alek Tarkowski
Centrum Cyfrowe Projekt: Polska
Creative Commons
2. „Open All”
• Beyond OA in science: open scienti!c
data, open metadata, other
publications than peer-review
articles
• Also educational content for HE,
K-12, preschool
• Heritage, cultural sector content
• Public Sector Information, Public
Data
3. „Open All”
• A policy-based approach: all publicly
funded content
• Good reasons to extend this
approach to other funding sources
• and to a generalized sharing
philosophy
• (policy as a key, strong tool – but at same
time lacks the personal choice aspect)
4. Maybe OA is enough?
• Mature publishing model (in
particular in economic terms)
• 20+ years of experience
• Precise goals – „modest” in a good
sense
• Still a lot of work ahead
5. OA is not enough?
• If we believe in OA for scienti!c
articles, then why not believe in
openness of other types of content?
• If OA for scienti!c articles makes
pragmatic sense, then why won’t it
make sense for other types of
content?
6. OA is not enough?
• OA has developed multiple
standards, tools, models that can be
reused in other sectors
• Multiple, cross-sector uses of
content (between science,
education, cultural sector, etc.)
7. OA is not enough?
• OA has developed multiple
standards, tools, models that can be
reused in other sectors
8. Public Open Content
• „public” or „publicly funded” is the
crucial distinction, and the rationale
for openness
• (a de!nition for „publicly funded” is
needed, and sometimes in controversial)
10. OA + OER
• „natural !t” – connecting element:
HE educational resources
• OA + OER as core of the „Open All”
concept
• (with heritage being a low-hanging
fruit, and other cultural works
remaining fast impossible to open)
11. OER de"ned
• „teaching, learning and research
materials in any medium, digital or
otherwise, that reside in the public
domain or have been released under
an open license that permits no-cost
access, use, adaptation and
redistribution by others with no or
limited restrictions.”
UNESCO
12. OER: shortest history
• 2002: MIT OpenCourseWare
• 2007: Cape Town Declaration
• 2008: Coalition for Open Education
(PL)
• 2008: Wikiwijs (NL)
• (2004) 2009: Khan Academy
• 2011: Polish Open Textbooks project
• 2012: Paris UNESCO Declaration
13. OER: shortest history
• An ecosystem similar to the OA
ecosystem:
• Repositories
• Metadata
• Author compliance
• Law / licensing
• Use / reuse
15. OER de"ned
• Hewlett Foundation
„OER are teaching, learning, and
research resources that reside in the
public domain or have been released
under an intellectual property license
that permits their free use and repurposing by others.”
16. OER de"ned
• UNESCO
„teaching, learning and research
materials in any medium, digital or
otherwise, that reside in the public
domain or have been released under
an open license that permits no-cost
access, use, adaptation and
redistribution by others with no or
limited restrictions.”
18. Licensing debate
• Is crucial for OER – much more than
for OA
• Why CC BY?
• The importance of reuse / remix in
educational practice
• Translation into local languages
19. Licensing debate
• OA also needs this debate – for
example with regard to text/data
mining
• US: FASTR + executive order
• Terrain is muddled – con#icting
de!nitions - Traditional stronger vs.
broader debate
• At the same time, still low proof /
few cases of reuse
20. Licensing debate
• Strong standards are
the more important,
the higher level a policy
• Strongest standards for
public funded content –
to ensure real right to
information /
education / knowledge
21. Polish Open Textbooks
• Context: OER in Poland in last 5 years
• Coalition for Open Education (KOED)
• Public OERs:
• „Polish Aid” program
• „Włącz Polskę” - Polish schools abroad
• Grassroots activities
• Wolne lektury: open books portal for
schools
• Active Wikipedia community
• Khan Academy localization
22. Polish Open Textbooks
• Polish textbook model: commercial
production → public certi!cation →
teacher's choice – parents purchase
• Lack of high quality digital
educational resources in Poland.
• Failure of previous public projects
(Scholaris portal)
• Commercial publishers slow to
develop electronic content
23. Polish Open Textbooks
• Approximately 56m PLN for
content creation, of which 45m
PLN (12m EUR) assigned for etextbooks
• 18 textbooks covering K12 core
courses until 2015
25. Open Public Resources Act
• General model from the „Open
textbooks” project
• Complimentary to Public Sector
Information rules -> together would
form a general open norm for public
content
• Education + science + culture
• 2013: Bill proposal
26. Openwashing
• MOOC (MOPENOC)
• Mark Lester – how are MOOCs open:
• Non-selective
• Not tied to physical location
• No limitations on number of students
• Non full-time, no long commitment
• Low or no cost
• MFLEXIBLEOC?
• Why don’t MOOCs „get” openness?
27. Opening Up Education
• „Thanks to Open Educational
Resources (OER), and namely
MOOCs, teachers and education
institutions can now reach thousands
of learners from all !ve continents
simultaneously, showcasing that
language is not always a barrier.”
28. Opening Up Education
• helping everyone to acquire digital skills
and learning methods
• supporting development and
availability of open educational
resources
• connecting classrooms and deploying
digital devices and content
• mobilizing all stakeholders to change the
role of digital technologies at education
institutions
29. Opening Up Education
• Pragmatic approach instead of an
ideological one?
• (which OA already knows this very well)
• Educators, students don’t necessarily
care about openness – they care about
a'ordability, e(ciency, ease of use,
quality
• And therefore policymakers care about
this too
30. Opening Up Education
• Three strategies:
• Raise awareness about All
Things Open
• Build pragmatic arguments
• Mythbusting
