The workshop aims to help participants leverage open practices to promote access to education. It will guide them in examining relevant policies and identifying opportunities for open practices within their institutional contexts. Participants will analyze case studies from different institutions and develop action plans for advocating open education at their own schools. The workshop uses structured discussion, presentations, and small group work to help participants compare approaches across institutional types and cultural settings.

The Emergence of Open Courses: Understanding Open Education by drawing on the...Andreas Meiszner
During the past years there has been a growing trend within traditional education to ‘open up'. The case of MIT's OpenCourseWare initiative marked the start of the Open Educational Resource (OER) movement, a movement largely strategically driven on institutional levels. With this movement good quality tools and educational materials were made freely available to educators and learners throughout the globe. More recently one can observe a further type of openness within the educational domain, an openness where formally enrolled students engage with their peers at the web, resulting to an ever blurring border between the formal and the informal and providing the potential of taking further advantage of the opportunities the participatory web provides. Those attempts, unlike the OER case, seem to be more driven by individuals on a course level, but not be strategically addressed at the institutional level. This knowledge café is aimed at advancing our understanding on Open Course design by drawing on the Open Source case and recent trends in formal education.

Universal Design for Learning: A framework for addressing learner diversityHarvard Web Working Group
On September 9, 2015, Sam Johnston gave a talk entitled "Universal Design for Learning: A framework for addressing learner diversity". Educators designing online and blended programs are responsible for ensuring the success of all students including those with physical, sensory, and learning disabilities, differing cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and various motivations for learning. Providing accessible learning materials to postsecondary students with disabilities is essential — and required by law. Assistive technology and accessible materials can lower barriers to access. However, access to materials is not the same as access to learning. “The purpose of education is not to make information accessible, but rather to teach learners how to transform accessible information into useable knowledge” (CAST, 2012). Universal design for learning (UDL) is a framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into how humans learn. This session provides an overview of UDL with examples from open educational resources (OER) development. We will showcase UDLonCampus.cast.org, a collection of resources on UDL for postsecondary stakeholders to help them provide flexibility in instructional materials, teaching methods, and assessments.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Abstract - Leveraging Open Practices - AVU Conference Workshop 2013
1. Title: Leveraging Institutional Open Practices to Promote Access to Education
Venue: 1st International Conference of the African Virtual University, 20 – 22 November 2013,
Nairobi, Kenya
Facilitators:
● James Glapa-Grossklag, Dean, Educational Technology, Learning Resources, and
Distance Learning, College of Canyons, and President of the Advisory Board for the
Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources
● Kathleen Ludewig Omollo, International Program Manager, Office of Enabling
Technologies, University of Michigan Medical School
Keywords: open education, policy, strategy, elearning production and engagement,
organizational change, distance learning,
Workshop Length: 2-4 hours
Objectives:
● Locate open practices within one’s institutional mission
● Provide a framework for identifying opportunities for and comparing institutional open
practices within one’s own institutional context
● Identify and address incentives, policies, and practices for adopting open licenses
Instructional Goals and Outcomes:
● Participants will identify opportunities for and compare institutional practices with their
own institutional contexts.
● Participants will leave the workshop with tactics for advocacy and integration of open
education in varying institutional and cultural contexts.
Workshop Description: This proposed workshop will guide participants in examining the policy
environment and organizational culture desired for effective open education activities, including
identifying and addressing relevant policies at the departmental/faculty, institutional, national, or
association level (such as for recognition, promotion, intellectual property, quality assurance,
etc.) that can either support or hinder the goal of increasing access to educational experiences.
This formal and informal policy environment is a common area of interest for many educators
and institutions that are curious about or are currently pursuing open education activities.
Drawing from case studies from a two-year community college in the U.S., an undergraduate
and post-graduate research university in the U.S., and a regional network of health sciences
institutions in sub-Saharan Africa, the facilitators will present a framework for understanding
own’s organizational culture, and for identifying opportunities for open practices within that
institutional context.
Target audience: senior administrators and leadership, teaching staff, support staff.

2. Structure: The workshop will consist of structured discussion, with highly participatory group
work in response to case studies and prompts from the presenters. The first portion of the
workshop will feature presentations about open education strategy and tactics at College of the
Canyons, University of Michigan, and the African Health Open Educational Resources (OER)
Network. The bulk of the time will be spent in small group discussion in order for workshop
participants to effectively draw on each other’s collective knowledge about institutional policies,
distance education, intellectual property, and media-enabled learning. Finally, participants will
develop an action plan for advocacy and integration of open education in their own institutions.
Activities: The presentations and structured discussion in small groups will follow a similar
structure to enable the audience to make comparisons across varying contexts. Our points of
discussion and comparison are:
● Reaffirming the mission of one’s institutions in relation to type of institution and target
audience
● Identifying and articulating the value of open education in support of that mission
○ e.g. defining access in the community college context means open enrollment,
lower costs, and supporting non-traditional students
○ e.g. defining access in terms of a public research institution means transparency
and adaptability of processes for innovation, ease of contextualization for other
cultures or languages, and portability of educational materials across varying
mediums, devices, and types of computer networks
● Gaining buy-in with a variety of stakeholders
● Anticipating and responding to opposition
● Documenting and demonstrating increased access through open education within one’s
own contexts
● Prepare action plan to introduce or expand open education within one’s own contexts
Intended Outcomes: In order to encourage the continued discussion, promotion, and adoption
of open education at participants’ respective institutions, we will share all of the workshop
materials (e.g., presentations, notes, guides) in an editable format and under a Creative
Commons Attribution (CC BY) 3.0 license. The resulting materials will be publicized through
existing open education networks (e.g. the Community College Consortium for OER, Open
CourseWare Consortium, African Health OER Network).
Equipment: Requested equipment and room configuration for the workshop include: projector
with VGA input, projection screen or surface, tables and chairs set up for 4-5 small groups of 58 people each, one flip chart or dry erase board per small group, markers. If possible, access for
participants to electrical outlets and a wireless Internet connection would also be helpful.
