Putting the "Public" Back in Public HigherEd
This document discusses ways to strengthen public higher education through open educational practices. It advocates for using open educational resources to lower student costs, open pedagogy to connect students to real-world problems and communities, and open access to research to maximize the impact of scholarly work. The document argues that these practices fulfill the mission of public universities by increasing access to education, treating learning as collaborative rather than competitive, and widely disseminating knowledge for public benefit.
Pedagogy in Public: Open Education Unbound
The document discusses the benefits of open education and open educational resources (OER). It notes that textbook costs have risen significantly and that many students do not purchase required textbooks or take fewer courses due to high costs. Openly licensed educational content can help address these issues by providing free, collaborative, and customizable learning materials. The document advocates for open pedagogy, which treats education as a learner-driven process and connects universities to the wider public. Open access to research is also discussed as a way to fulfill the promise of disseminating scholarship widely in the digital age. Challenges to open practices, like barriers to access and power dynamics, are acknowledged and addressing these issues is presented as an important part of advancing open education
Open Education for Digped PEI
This document discusses open education and its benefits. It defines open pedagogy as connecting students to the public to empower them to shape their future. Open access is described as allowing academic research to benefit the public and engage with influence from the public. Open educational resources are presented as relieving the financial burden on students of textbook costs, which average $1,328 per year, and supporting public education. Data shows high percentages of students do not purchase required textbooks or take fewer courses due to cost. Creative Commons licensing is described as allowing openly-licensed content that should not cost much. Benefits of open educational resources include their multimedia, accessible, interactive, collaborative, dialogic and dynamic nature which can empower contribution and keep content current

Using OER as a springboard to rethink pedagogy. Prepared for Saudi women leaders in education for eLearning Pioneers 2015, at the University of New Hampshire.
Pedagogy, Technology, and the Future of Higher Ed
This document summarizes the key topics and themes that were presented at the ATI (Advanced Technology Institute) conference. The conference focused on exploring how emerging technologies can be used to enhance teaching and learning, while emphasizing that the primary goal should be improving pedagogy rather than just introducing new technologies. Specific technologies discussed included learning management systems, wearables, drones, and hyperloops. However, the document stresses that technology should support student-centered learning and open educational resources/pedagogies in order to reduce costs and empower students. It encourages attendees to adopt these practices in their own teaching and to advocate for institutional policies that promote affordable, open education.
Presentation for Bridgewater State University
The document discusses the concept of "public" education and how it is changing in the digital age. It argues that with only 9% of funding coming from states at some public universities, their public nature is in question. It promotes open educational resources (OER), open pedagogy, and open access to research as ways to increase access to education, engage learners beyond the classroom, and maximize public impact of scholarship. The document advocates challenging barriers to access through open and critical approaches to increase the public benefits of higher education.
Open Education at Keene State College
Keene State College is implementing an open education initiative to increase affordability, student engagement, and public impact. The initiative focuses on open educational resources (OER) to lower textbook costs, open pedagogy to connect students to communities, and open access to research.

Have academic libraries transformed their position in the institution? - John...
The document discusses how academic libraries have transformed their roles but may still be viewed with limited impact and taken for granted within higher education institutions. It suggests libraries focus communications on institutional priorities like student success, use new language to describe services, and partner broadly instead of narrowly to increase their visibility and position on campus. Libraries also need to assert their value through measurable contributions and be less inwardly focused.
Cainet Meeting August 20 2014 (2).pptx
The ASCWU-SG outlined goals in three key areas: communication, commitment, and collaboration. For communication, they planned to improve social media presence, use campus resources like newspapers to spread information, and rebrand to ASCWU Student Government. Their commitment goals included increasing student involvement through new programs, improving tech services like wireless and printing, and collaborating with the city on transportation. Finally, their collaboration goals were to work with the university administration on issues like tuition and create a standardized class ring with the CWU Foundation.
It's a Wonderful Life
The document discusses the importance of school library programs and the role of certified librarians. It notes that student achievement increases an average of 10-20% when schools have staffed library programs. Without funding for libraries, students would be missing out on important resources for research, developing technology skills, and accessing books and materials. The document urges support for ensuring all Pennsylvania students have access to library services and licensed librarians.
Open Education: Ownership, Access, & the Place of Pedagogy
This document discusses open education and the benefits of open educational resources (OER) over traditional textbooks. It notes that many students struggle with the high costs of textbooks and that using OER can help improve student outcomes. Studies cited found that students who used OER performed better and had higher completion rates than those using traditional textbooks. The document advocates for "open pedagogy," which treats education as a learner-driven process involving community collaboration rather than a focus only on content. It discusses how open approaches can empower students and connect education to the wider public.

The Sustainability of Open Education at U.S. Community Colleges
A panel of community college leaders discuss OER funding and adoption trends in the U.S. that are leading to sustainable open educational policies and practices. Affordability of education remains a significant barrier for students as instructional material and tuition costs have risen dramatically in the last decade. Community and technical colleges in the U.S. are increasingly advocating for open educational practices and policies to fulfill their mission of expanding access to education. Initial outreach to private foundations resulted in support for colleges to implement the pedagogical innovations and effectiveness research of OER usage in teaching and learning.
These early pilots have shown the use of open educational resources (OER) to be effective in lowering costs while maintaining or improving student learning outcomes. As these proof-of-concept pilots have matured, policy support and funding from within the public sector has emerged. College districts, state and federal government programs and policies have begun in earnest to support faculty and administrators who are promoting the adoption of OER to enhance teaching and learning while lowering costs through openly sharing of materials. As this public funding grows and becomes part of operational budgets, sustainability and institutionalization of open policies and practices can become a reality.
This panel will discuss recent publicly funded case studies such as the Maricopa College District’s OER Steering Committee Project, California State’s Higher Education Open Textbook legislation, and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Trade Assistance Adjustment Community College Career Training (TAACCCT) program.
Presenters:
• Una Daly, Community College Outreach Director, OpenCourseWare Consortium;
• James Glapa-Grossklag, Dean, College of the Canyons, California; and Community College Consortium Advisory Board President, OCWC Board Member.
• Paul Golisch, Dean of Instructional Technology, OER Steering Committee Co-chair, Paradise Valley College, Arizona;
• Dr. Lisa Young, Instructional Designer, OER Steering Committee Co-chair, Scottsdale Community College, Arizona
The Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources was founded in the Foothill–De Anza College District in 2007. Its focus was to create awareness and build a community of practice around OER at the public two-year colleges. It became an associate consortium of the OpenCourseWare Consortium in 2011 and now has over 240 colleges in 15 U.S. states and the province of British Columbia who are members through individual college memberships or regional and statewide memberships.

Increasing OER Adoptions with the Community College Consortium for OER
During the past few years, adoptions of open textbooks at community colleges have increased. A key component in many community college adoption campaigns has been participating in communities of practice. Members of the Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER) will share their successful strategies and tactics for creating a community of practice nationally as well as locally.
Etienne Wenger defines communities of practice as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” With over 200 member colleges in 17 states and provinces, CCCOER encourages collaboration between members and invites OER project presentations at their monthly online advisory meetings. Experienced members advise those who are just getting started on OER and best practices are freely shared. Access to a community of college OER experts through the CCCOER listserve makes it easier for new members to find and adopt the highest quality OER available in their disciplines.
Monthly webinars featuring OER leaders at community colleges, universities, and educational organizations around the world keep the community informed of new research findings, OER projects, and open policies. Meetups at regional and national conferences provide an opportunity to share and promote the OER adoption successes of our members with colleagues throughout higher education.

This document outlines Burlington High School's plan to embrace social media and mobile devices in the classroom. It discusses how 21st century students need experience with technological tools used in and out of the classroom to learn about technology and through technology. The Common Core State Standards and NASSP also support integrating skills related to analyzing and producing media. The school's plan involves steps outlined on Patrick Larkin's website to launch the use of 1,000 iPads like a school that successfully implemented a large iPad rollout. Contact information is provided for Patrick Larkin, the principal, and Andrew Marcinek, the instructional technology lead, to answer any questions.
Winchester pta presentation
This document discusses embracing social media in schools. It provides arguments for why social media should be embraced rather than banned, such as teaching students to use privacy settings and understand online information. It notes that students need experience with technological tools used in classrooms and the world. Blocking sites prevents preparing students for a connected world. The document advocates putting a learning device like an iPad in every student's hands to promote mobile learning and using social media in instruction. It provides contact information for the principal of Burlington High School, which launched a program giving every student an iPad.

Increasing OER Adoptions with the Community College Consortium for OER
During the past few years, adoptions of open textbooks at community colleges have increased. A key component in many community college adoption campaigns has been participating in communities of practice. Members of the Community College Consortium for OER (CCCOER) will share their successful strategies and tactics for creating a community of practice nationally as well as locally.
Etienne Wenger defines communities of practice as “groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” With over 200 member colleges in 17 states and provinces, CCCOER encourages collaboration between members and invites OER project presentations at their monthly online advisory meetings. Experienced members advise those who are just getting started on OER and best practices are freely shared. Access to a community of college OER experts through the CCCOER listserve makes it easier for new members to find and adopt the highest quality OER available in their disciplines.
Monthly webinars featuring OER leaders at community colleges, universities, and educational organizations around the world keep the community informed of new research findings, OER projects, and open policies. Meetups at regional and national conferences provide an opportunity to share and promote the OER adoption successes of our members with colleagues throughout higher education.

No child left_behind_group_project
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal law that aims to improve education outcomes for all students. It requires annual testing to monitor student achievement and identifies failing schools. Supporters argue it has increased test scores, especially for minority students, and more students receive tutoring or school choice. However, critics say it focuses too much on testing reading and math at the expense of other subjects. They also argue that it leads schools to "teach to the test" rather than focus on quality learning. Overall assessments of its impact are mixed.
