PAL Award Training Session 2 (14.12.11)
This document outlines an agenda and materials for a training session on social media and open educational resources (OER). The session will cover social media tools, OER and the Creative Commons license, and conclude with independent work and group planning time. Attendees will learn about blogs, wikis, forums and other social media that can be used for education, and where to find OER, such as educational materials with open licenses.
Open Educational Resources (OER): The Landscape of the Future
The phrase “open educational resource” was coined at a UNESCO forum in 2002, and OERs are “educational resources (e.g., textbooks, instructional modules, simulations, multimedia applications) that are freely available for use, reuse, adaptation, and sharing.” Such materials are generally released under a Creative Commons that supports open or nearly open use of the content. OER expand access to high quality instructional resources in formal and informal learning situations to more students and they have the potential to drive innovation to support effective teaching. OER can be endorsed, adopted, and improved by educators, resulting in instructional materials and resources that embody what the educational community sees as most valuable. Furthermore, learners can take advantage of access OER to direct their own learning.
This session will include an introduction and review of the OER movement, highlights of OER initiatives (such as MIT’s OpenCourseWare project and the Open University’s Open Learn), a summary of the elements of Creative Commons licenses, a review of open educational resources for use in discipline-specific courses, and strategies for evaluating, adopting and/or developing OERs for use in traditional and online courses. In addition, the session will include an overview of the Bridge to Success project, deliverables and impact.

1. The document discusses how MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) could disrupt higher education through innovative business models and flexible learning approaches.
2. It analyzes MOOCs using the theory of disruptive innovation, finding that MOOCs initially target non-consumers of higher education but may eventually compete with traditional universities by improving performance over time.
3. While MOOCs have potential to disrupt higher education, the education sector is complex with many players and regulations, so the impacts are difficult to predict and universities may not be displaced in the same way as other disrupted industries.

This document summarizes the CyberStacks prototype, which applies traditional library classification and organization methods to facilitate access to science and technology resources on the World Wide Web. Specifically, it uses the Library of Congress classification system to organize selected Internet resources into categories. This allows users to browse broad subjects and drill down into more specific topics. The goals are to reduce cognitive load for users and provide context among related resources. Key elements include selecting high-quality reference materials, classifying resources based on subject coverage, and presenting descriptive annotations to help users evaluate resources. The document argues this approach can make Internet resources easier to navigate for users familiar with traditional library systems and services.
Esp@cenet
