OECx: Building Openly Licensed MOOCs to Enhance Re-use, Interactivity, and Le...Una Daly
The Open Education Consortium (OEC) launched a pilot in 2014 to demonstrate the power of re-using openly licensed course content to develop Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and revitalize and update existing OER/OCW in the process. Converting existing OCW into MOOCs offers OEC member institutions opportunities to gather information about how learners interact with the content and offers learners greater opportunities for interactivity with instructors, peers, and the content. Partnering with edX, OEC has offered member institutions the opportunity to develop MOOCs on a leading technology platform that provides different options for how learners engage in a course. Learners may choose to audit a course or sign-up for a verified certificate for a modest fee that can be used for academic or career enrichment.
Using their existing open courseware and open educational resources (OER), members have launched MOOCs that offer high-quality learning experiences with the option of a verified (fee-based) certificate available to learners throughout the world. Participating members in the pilot include the National Chiao Tung University, Tufts University, University Polytechnic of Madrid, Open University’s TESS India project, Anne Arundel Community College, and the University of Hokkaido. The courses range from the technology of energy, biology of water and health, introduction to helicopters, corporate social responsibility, teacher education, introduction to business, and the effects of radiation.
Panelist from the MOOC development team at Open University, University Polytechnic of Madrid, and University of Hokkaido will share best practices for developing and running openly licensed MOOCs. Lesson learned about developing MOOCs with OER and strategies for enhancing student engagement and interactivity will be shared.
The Open Education Consortium is a worldwide community of hundreds of higher education institutions and associated organizations committed to advancing open education and its impact on global education. We seek to instill openness as a feature of education around the world, allowing greatly expanded access to education while providing a shared body of knowledge upon which innovative and effective approaches to today’s social problems can be built.
EdX, a not-for-profit enterprise founded by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2012, was created for students and institutions that seek to transform themselves through cutting-edge technologies, innovative pedagogy, and rigorous courses. Through our institutional partners, the xConsortium, along with other leading global members, we present the best of higher education online, offering opportunity to anyone who wants to achieve, thrive, and grow.

Open Educational Resources (OER): The Landscape of the FutureBrandon Muramatsu
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.

Many college faculty and staff have been engaged in making their institutions more accessible, inclusive, and equitable through the adoption of OER and open educational practices. One year ago, the need for this work became even more apparent as educators began to recognize that the structural racism deeply embedded in our society was in fact very evident in higher education as well. We invite you to hear from three college professors and the program staff who supported them in moving from the desire to make their classrooms more equitable and antiracist to taking concrete actions to do so.
Environmental Science Professor Jalal Ghaemghami and Librarian Ted (Totsaporn) Intarabumrung will share their open education work at Roxbury College.
Librarian Jen Klaudinyi, creator of the Oregon Equity and Open Education program, and Biology Professor Michelle Huss will share details of the cohort program and how a Biology course was transformed.

CCCOER Presents: Culture Shift to Academic FreedomUna Daly
Open Education gives faculty the academic freedom to find, adapt, and create materials that are focused on how and what their students need to learn and be successful in their courses. It takes time and a different approach to your teaching practice. No longer limited by a commercial textbook’s outline of topic materials and lack of access by a significant percentage of their students, a faculty member can engage their students in more meaningful and effective learning experiences. Hear from faculty, an administrator, and a student who are engaged in this sometimes challenging culture shift to reduce inequity and grow our pedagogical practices.

Reducing Equity Gaps & Creating Reliency with OERUna Daly
Textbook affordability and flexibility is more important than ever in times of shrinking budgets, enrollment concerns, and remote learning. Students’ lives have been disrupted and helping them get back on track to complete their education is critical. Open educational resources significantly reduce student costs and have been shown to improve outcomes particularly for traditionally underserved populations. Open resources also provide flexibility for faculty as they continue to adapt their teaching for unfolding circumstances.
Join the Midwestern Higher Education Compact as they host the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) to hear how higher education institutions can work together on open education policy, professionalism, stewardship, and sustainability across regional and state boundaries to find solutions to common challenges. CCCOER is leading conversations with regional leaders of open education (RLOE) to support statewide and national projects for expanding access while creating resilience and sparking innovation at institutions of higher education.
Presenters: Denise Cote, PhD, Librarian, College of DuPage; and Una Daly, MA, Director, CCCOER
We’re starting the academic year with a critical discussion that so many educators are struggling with right now. How can we use OER to advance inclusion, address systemic racism, and give a voice to the life experiences of underrepresented people?
Join us for this webinar to find out about emerging practices for transforming your instructional materials and practices featuring a librarian, an instructional coach, and a faculty member. Topics range from sourcing images to reflect your students’ culture and identity, reforming your syllabus towards inclusion, and converting your classes to include viewpoints that reflect varied cultural and gendered identities.

California ZTC Degrees Panel: Past, Present, and FutureUna Daly
Online Teaching Conference 2020: Twenty-six California Community Colleges embarked on a journey to create thirty-four Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) Degrees to dramatically reduce the financial burden of earning an associate degree or career technical education certificate. More than 20,000 students over three years would benefit from this approach to eliminating the barrier of textbook costs. Data collected from participating colleges show that all students in ZTC pathways did better than those in non-ZTC courses, and that traditionally underserved populations did even better.
With proven results of reducing equity gaps, the Governor has proposed doubling the initial $5 million ZTC program to $10 million in FY21, opening this opportunity to more colleges wishing to leverage ZTCs to increase student achievement and reduce equity gaps. Join us to hear from ZTC champions who led the initiative, supporting the faculty who transformed their courses to lower barriers and improve students learning, and ensuring the sustainability of the program. Consider how to integrate a ZTC approach with your distance education, equity, pathways and other student success-centered initiatives. Learn about how students and librarians are poised to play an essential role in the proposed $10 million grant. Finally, learn the critical steps for success and how to assess your college’s readiness for developing ZTC degrees.
CCCOER Presents: User Friendly OER Course Design for Remote and F2F LearningUna Daly
When faculty start using OER, one of the most exciting opportunities that the open license affords is for faculty to customize their courses to fit the needs of their students. In this discussion, we will explore some of the theory and practice around designing engaging, accessible, and inclusive OER courses. We will discuss how using OER can enable faculty to embrace good design principles for student-centered instruction in fully online courses or face-to-face courses, augmented with online components. We’ll discuss the advantages of this approach in our current, COVID-19 world.

Open Education Resilience in Crisis and BeyondUna Daly
Schools, colleges, and universities have closed their campuses and pivoted to remote instruction in a matter of weeks as the COVID-19 threat became a reality. Student’s lives are being disrupted not only by the adjustment to remote instruction but also due to job loss, family responsibilities, and healthcare needs. Commercial publishers are offering faculty and students one-time “free” instruction materials during the crisis in hopes of gaining new customers. Colleges are now facing big questions about their future including maintaining student enrollment, selecting instructional materials, managing faculty and staff costs, and even how the physical campus might be reconfigured.
Join our panelists to hear how open education has made their campuses more resilient and continues to help with student equity including support for underrepresented populations and students with disabilities. You will hear strategies and talking points for helping stakeholders on your campus understand how open educational resources, prudent fair-use, and open educational practices (pedagogy) support both teaching and learning in the crisis and will continue to contain costs, address student needs, and inspire innovation for the future.

Faculty and Students Share about Open PedagogyUna Daly
Open Pedagogy is a collection of open practices in the classroom made possible by replacing commercial textbooks with open educational resources. These emerging practices enabled by open content licensing (and an open mindset) involve students in making decisions about their own learning experiences and contributing directly to global knowledge to impact not only other students but generate renewable value outside of the classroom.
Join us to hear about the learning benefits from faculty and students who have participated in open pedagogy projects that were enabled through the adoption of open education resources and open practices. Learn how students working with instructional designers and librarians have begun to help faculty adopt, create and implement open content across their campus.

CCCOER Presents: Regional Leaders of Open EducationUna Daly
When: Wednesday, March 4, noon PST/3pm EST:
Launched in fall 2019, the Regional Leadership for Open Education (RLOE) initiative was inspired by CCCOER members’ growing need to collaborate across institutional and state boundaries to find solutions for issues impacting OER adoption at diverse, multi-institution systems. Many open education leaders face similar issues of advocacy and implementation beyond their home institution and wish for the opportunity to craft common solutions and eliminate duplication of efforts. Leaders from colleges, universities, library consortia, and government agencies were invited to participate in four workgroups to discuss and build solutions. Each workgroup has developed a focus project for pursuing in 2020 and will share early efforts and invite community feedback
Policy & Strategy: focusing on a bibliography of open education policies and building a video repository of statewide OER policy clips.
Stewardship: focusing on emerging frameworks for stewardship of open education resources and student privacy and data.
Professionalism: focusing on building a matrix of emerging “open education” roles and their associated competencies to better identify training needs.
Sustainability: focusing on building a virtual file cabinet of higher education infrastructure documents/templates integrating open education.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
