The Sustainability of Open Education at U.S. Community CollegesUna Daly
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.

Internationalizing Learning Concepts through OCW. AIEA 2011Gary Matkin
This presentation addresses the following 2011 Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA) Annual Conference themes, 1) information technology and international collaboration, 2) strategies of international partnerships and exchange, and 3) joint degrees and off-shore operations. It is based on growing efforts of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to expand its OpenCourseWare (OCW) Web site to include material relevant to international students and teachers. It includes a description of the partnership between UCI and the Fundacão Getulio Vargas, Brazil (FGV) for the development of an international MBA program and the exchange and innovative use of open educational resources (OER) primarily in the form of OCW.
This presentation will serve these three purposes and also propose that the OCW Consortium take a leadership role in serving as a clearing house and advocate for the sharing of data and experimental results across institutions, in order to advance the use of open material to fuel education innovation.
Teacher Education, K-12 Education and the Massive Open Online Course Dave Cormier
Presentation at the 44th Canadian Society for the Study of Education (CSSE) Conference by Dave Cormier and Bonnie Stewart. A review of MOOCs from their coining in 2008 to practical uses in the field of Higher Education. Discusses MOOC narratives of solutionism, disruption and unbundling. Includes MOOCs as open access, open accreditation, Niche MOOCs and important trends on the horizon.
In 1990 the Hubble Telescope was launched providing current and future generations of scientists with a view of the cosmos unobstructed by the earth’s atmosphere. Ten years later over 9,000 journal articles had been based on the science delivered by the Hubble. It is the main contention of this presentation that MOOCs (and other forms of Open Educational Resources–OER) will have the same effect on higher education research by providing “massive” responses to exactly the same educational treatments delivered in the same way.

What Actually Is Artificial Intelligence?Doug Clow
Talk for MK Geek Night, 23 Sep 2021
AI means more hype, more technology, more future - and more money! But what actually is it? In this talk, Doug will explain what people mean by artificial intelligence and machine learning, what sort of problems they can solve, and how they do it. We'll see a range of examples where they're being used, and look at how it goes well and how it goes wrong, from entertaining AI weirdness to serious algorithmic bias. You won't end up being able to implement techniques like Support Vector Machines or Generative Adversarial Networks (unless you already could) but you should end up with a better idea of what the people who can are up to.
How to get to Runter End: Generating English placenames with a neural networkDoug Clow
These are slides for a talk at MK Geek Night, Thu 7 March 2019. Doug trained a neural network on the official database of placenames in England, then got it to generate its own suggestions. Some were convincing, some were funny, and some even turned out to be real places. Doug will give a bit of an explanation of how he did it, and show some of the best results.
A partial history of Educational Technology at the Open UniversityDoug Clow
This is a talk given at the OU's Computers and Learning Research Group, on 17 Jan 2019. In it I give a very partial history of educational technology at the Open University, since its founding in 1969 to the present day. It’ll be partial in multiple senses. A full history would take far longer than a single session. If I gave a comprehensively synoptic account, it’d be too broad-brush to be interesting. So I’ll be selecting elements to focus on, and I’ll be unashamedly partial in picking the ones that appeal particularly to me. We’ve always been pioneers in using technology to help our students learn. What that means has changed profoundly in some ways, and is much the same in others. As Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Come along to hear the digital equivalent of “I remember when all this was fields”!
Where is the evidence? A call to action for learning analyticsDoug Clow
Keynote presentation at LASI-Rocky Mountains online conference, 12 June 2017, based on a similar talk at LAK17, Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference 2017, Vancouver.

LAEP Visions of the Future of Learning AnalyticsDoug Clow
Presentation on the LACE project's Visions of the Future of Learning Analytics work from the LAEP project's expert workshop in Amsterdam, 15-16 March 2016.
How can universities scale up learning analytics beyond small-scale pilots to seriously use data to improve student learning? This interactive workshop was designed to help you think this through for your institution.
Universities are hard to change. Having good data and analytics is a good start, but is only one part of success. This session will provide tools and frameworks to help you analyse what else is needed, building on experiences of successful large-scale learning analytics activity at the Open University and the University of Technology, Sydney, and from the pan-European Learning Analytics Community Exchange project.
Slides for a talk at Bett, London, 20 January 2016.

Moving through MOOCs: Pedagogy, Learning and Patterns of Engagement.
Presentation at EC-TEL 2015, September, 2015, Toledo, Spain.
[This is the shorter, more visual version. The detailed version is available at http://www.slideshare.net/R3beccaF/moving-through-moocs-pedagogy-learning-and-patterns-of-engagement.]
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are part of the lifelong learning experience of people worldwide. Many of these learners participate fully. However, the high levels of dropout on most of these courses are a cause for concern. Previous studies have suggested that there are patterns of engagement within MOOCs that vary according to the pedagogy employed. The current paper builds on this work and examines MOOCs from different providers that have been offered on the FutureLearn platform. A cluster analysis of these MOOCs shows that engagement patterns are related to pedagogy and course duration. Learners did not work through a three-week MOOC in the same ways that learners work through the first three weeks of an eight-week MOOC.
Creating an action plan for learning analyticsDoug Clow
Slides for a talk at Bett 2015, London, on Friday 23 January at Excel.
Learning analytics has great potential. By using data more effectively, we can understand and improve learning and the learning environment. Trail-blazing projects, exciting demonstrations and earnest strategy papers set out a compelling vision for data in HE.
That vision can sometimes seem far from institutional reality. How can we get some of those benefits for our learners?
This interactive workshop will help participants assess their institution’s current capability for making use of learning analytics, and help them plan for action. The facilitators will draw on a wide range of practical experience, including from the pan-European Learning Analytics Community Exchange project.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
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
