Presentation by Carl Blyth at "The Power of Openness: Improving Foreign Language Learning Through Open Education", held at the University of Texas at Austin and online on August 9-10, 2012.
Find, Use, Remix, and Create Open Learning MaterialsOpen.Michigan
In this workshop, members of the Open.Michigan initiative will teach
you how to find openly licensed content and show you how to remix it
to create new open educational resources (OER). Included will be an
overview of copyright law and we will discuss how this applies to the
creation and use of OER. Examples of OER use and reuse will illustrate
how these resources can have an impact on local and international
learning communities and how they have been used in specific contexts.
Participants will also get a chance to generate examples of OER and
learn how these resources can be accessed and adapted online. Please
bring your laptop and some of your own learning materials or resources
to this workshop and we will help you make it open on the spot.
Examples of OER can be found at: http://ur1.ca/2lhe9 and

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

9. Roadmap
1. Overview of Open Education
2. Open Educational Resources (OER)
3. Assessing the Impact of OER
4. Challenges to Open Education
11. Defining “Open Education”
“A collective term that refers to forms of
education in which knowledge, ideas or
important aspects of teaching
methodology or infrastructure are
shared freely over the Internet.”
(Wikipedia)
12. Open Education Movement
“The open education (OE) movement is
based on a set of intuitions shared by a
remarkably wide range of academics: that
knowledge should be free and open to use
and re-use; that collaboration should be
easier, not harder; that people should receive
credit and kudos for contributing to education
and research; and that concepts and ideas
are linked in unusual and surprising ways
and not the simple linear forms that today’s
textbook present.”
(Baraniuk 2007: 229)
21. Coined in 2002 during a
UNESCO meeting, the term
OER refers to any
educational material offered
freely for anyone to use,
typically involving some
permission to re-mix,
improve, and redistribute.
What we mean by OER
22. What we mean by OPEN
1. Free Access (online, no passwords, no fees)
2. Enable the “4 R’s”
Reuse - copy verbatim
Redistribute - share with others
Revise - adapt and edit
Remix - combine with others

35. Big vs. Little OER
Big OER Little OER
Typically generated by institutions. Typically generated and shared by
individuals.
Advantages =good quality, easy to find Advantages = cheap, web-native, easily
remixed and reused.
Disadvantages = expensive, often not web
native, reuse limited
Disadvantages = lower production quality,
reputation can be more difficult to
ascertain, more difficult to locate
Examples: Many of COERLL’s OER Examples: Blog posts, podcasts, etc.

36. COERLL’s Strategies for Openness
Design for Sharing & Collaboration
Modular content
Shareable media (YouTube)
Editable formats (Google Docs)
Multiple access formats (print-on-
demand, mobile, Web, etc.)
Building Communities
Teachers + Learners +
Administrators + Developers
50. Lack of Awareness
A study of more than 2000 tenure and tenure-track
faculty members at Florida public colleges
indicated that just over 10% of instructors had
actually used OER, mainly as a supplement to
traditional materials (Henderson, 2011).
51. Concerns about Quality & Support
A 2011 NITLE survey: “potential interest in OER,
but that there is a need for more quality resources
relevant to the liberal arts curriculum, that these
resources should be more easily discoverable, and
that faculty may need to be convinced that they
are sufficient quality” (Spiro & Alexander, 2012, p.
1).

Editor's Notes
TLTC provided technology support to instructors in the FL departments who wanted to develop online materials. We had always made these materials open access, so it was a natural progression for us to focus on OER as a language resource center.
as in the OER definition from wikipedia.
I want to start by introducing COERLL, giving you a little background on our center.
Then, I will discuss the “OER” in COERLL – what open educational resources means to us and how we are opening up our language learning tools and materials.
I will give you a peek at some of the projects we have been working on.
And finally, I want to wrap up by sharing some lessons learned in our journey to becoming more open.

Difference between the meanings of "free", yes it is free as in no cost, but it is also free as in giving you the freedom of sharing ownership of the material.
Determine how to move from open access websites to true OER
Retrofit existing materials if possible
Implement new tools, processes, and strategies to develop new OER
Grow communities around our OER

We have been producing materials for awhile, and they have always been open access, but with a little copyright symbol at the bottom. The "all rights reserved" model does not allow any copying or redistribution of materials. Luckily, we have the "some rights reserved" model. We say "as long as you give us attribution, we give you explicit permission to copy and adapt materials to meet the local needs of your classroom or create new materials".
