What educational policy needs OER for, and what policy support does OER need?Dominic Orr
Presentation at: OER15 - 6th International Conference on Open Education – “'Mainstreaming Open Education”
Cardiff, 15 April 2015
Although Open Educational Resources (OER) have been one of the mainstays of discussion on open education over the past decade, we are now noticing a renewed attention of policy makers in the topic. Whilst many really cool initiatives are to be found around the world (for instance in Germany http://ow.ly/EdLOX ), OER can really only realize its potential in the mainstream, if it tackles mainstream problems. That means that it is important to re-start the discussion on OER so that there is a focus on OER as a means to an end, i.e. OER contributing to improving various aspects of education (see blog from TJ Bliss from the Hewlett Foundation: http://tjbliss.org/musings-on-oer-policy/ ). The Open University’s OER Research Hub, for instance, poses hypotheses about the benefits of OER (http://oerresearchhub.org/collaborative-research/hypotheses/). The most recent CERI/OECD report on OER (http://www.oecd.org/edu/ceri/open-educational-resources-oer.htm ), looks instead for typical problems in education systems first and searches for solutions which involve OER production and use. In a second step it looks to see whether the expected potential of OER is being realised. In this way, it can also formulate an assessment of the status quo and encourage a discussion on what policy interventions can do to help OER realise this potential. The report, which will be published late spring 2015, identifies six typical problems in education, which can benefit from OER production and use.

Business models for OER and MOOCs beyond monetary incentivesEADTU
Andy Lane from The Open University UK gave a presentation about the Business models for OER and MOOCs beyond monetary incentives as part of the online events by expert pool OERs & MOOCs within EMPOWER.
This presentation was given on Tuesday 18th January 2011 in Laos at the CPWF Basin Leaders Meeting. This presentation serves to introduce the concept of the Topic Working Groups that the CPWF is championing.
This presentation is intended for UPCEA members who are involved in helping their institutions determine whether to offer or continue to offer MOOCs. It draws on the experience of UC Irvine, an early member of Coursera, which has over ten years of experience in OpenCourseWare (OCW) and Open Educational Resources (OER). To begin, the presentation establishes the context for a full understanding of MOOCS, why they developed, what impact they have had so far, and what their effect might be on higher education and the world, but absent the hype and hyperbole that characterizes current discussions around MOOCS. The advantages and disadvantages of being involved with MOOCs and some strategic reasons to engage in MOOCs will be presented, using illustrations from the UCI experience.
The objective of this presentation is to first, set the background, including the most recent events, around MOOCs. Of course, MOOCs are just an extension of a much earlier and deeper movement toward open education, but they represent a very important milestone in the development of universal higher education, where everyone can learn anything, anytime, anywhere, for free. We will also make some predictions, based on solid evidence, about where MOOCs are going and what their effect will be. Then we will develop some institutional strategies that might make sense given the background and predilections.
Benefits and challenges of OER for higher education institutionsMichael Paskevicius
The emergence of teaching materials and processes as open educational resources (OER) in higher education in the 21st century is part of the much larger social movement towards ‘opening up’ what was previously ‘closed’ to all except a limited number of people who paid for access to or use of information and services. Initially OER was understood as sharing specific ‘products’, but it now thought of as including the underlying pedagogical ‘practices’.
That academics and student tutors want to share their intellectual capital openly with the rest of the world is at the heart of the OER movement. Archer’s (2003) notion of the ‘active agent’, offers some insight into why academics (or students) in HEIs may decide to (or not) use and share OER, and how they might respond in an institutional environment which inhibits or encourages the practice of
sharing.
