Open Educational Resources: Advantages & DisadvantagesTraci Taylor
Open educational resources (OERs) are teaching and learning materials that can be freely used and reused without permission. OERs are available in the public domain or have an open license allowing reuse as long as the creator is attributed. Examples of OERs include textbooks, courses, images, and videos. OERs provide access to educational resources for free, saving students money while allowing universal access to education. However, the quality of OERs can be harder to determine and concerns exist regarding long-term funding and access to necessary equipment.

Bridging the Gap: Mixing approaches, content and tools to help college studentsBrandon Muramatsu
The Next Generation Learning Challenge has provided a call to action for those involved in Open Educational Resources to meet the needs of the US education system. One of the challenges is to deploy open core courseware to address the retention and completion issues in community colleges. In the Open Learning: Bridge to Success (B2S) initiative The Open University working in partnership with MIT, Anne Arundel Community College (AACC) and University of Maryland University College (UMUC) will develop open bridging modules to help learners having problems in coping with credit bearing courses. Modules focussed on learning to learn and understanding mathematics will be released as complete open educational resource packages from The Open University's existing successful programme of entry-level (pre-degree) "Openings" modules. The Open University has an established open presence through its OpenLearn open content site which offers a wide range of units, and the courses will be developed in the open to benefit not only students in the partner institutions but any learners who wish to use them.
The project will run its first pilots with Community College students from September and this presentation focuses on the early phase of the project including: release of the initial materials, augmentation with other OER, design of the research methodology and early lessons from working together as partners. Already working in the open is changing how we think about the provision of content and the instruction of practical experiences alongside meeting curriculum needs. We anticipate presenting the design requirements and how they have been met through open provision, reflections from those involved in the projects, the first feedback from students at the pilot colleges, and the indications from the additional users in the open.

- Based on student feedback, the project published an Accessibility Toolkit to provide best practices for making open textbook content accessible.
- The Toolkit guides open textbook creators on universal design principles and accessible design for different types of content like images, tables and text.
This document summarizes an OPEN kick-off meeting hosted by the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC). It provides an overview of SBCTC OPEN staff, highlights of the Washington community and technical college system, and the strategic technology plan to create a statewide suite of online learning tools. It also describes the SBCTC Open Course Library project funded by Gates Foundation to create open content for the most common courses. The document discusses lessons learned from the first phase and changes for the second phase. It also covers the transition from ANGEL to Canvas as the new learning management system and why OPEN education is important.
Una Daly presented on the benefits of open educational resources and open textbooks. She discussed how rising costs of education and textbooks negatively impact students, and how open textbooks can help by providing free or low-cost digital content that can be customized. Open licensing allows open textbooks to be freely shared and adapted. Several large-scale open textbook projects were highlighted that have led to cost savings for students and improved learning outcomes. Research also suggests that open textbooks increase interactions with materials and faculty collaboration. Adopting open textbooks requires selecting materials, customizing content as needed, gathering user feedback, and ensuring sustainability.
Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research materials that are freely available online for anyone to use. Some key benefits of OER include increasing access to education by lowering costs for students, and allowing collaboration between instructors. However, there are also challenges such as maintaining high quality, finding desired materials, motivating sharing between instructors, and addressing language barriers or outdated technologies.

Content Creation and Open Educational Resourcesmarkvanharmelen
Open educational resources (OERs) have been successful in providing open content and tools, but their use and reuse remains limited as teachers and learners are often seen only as consumers rather than participants. To develop an ecology of OERs, support is needed for active involvement with content through community engagement, interaction facilitation, empowering users to co-create, and providing useful tools and services for individual creators and communities while making content licensing and discovery as easy as possible.
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of using open educational resources (OER) in place of traditional textbooks. Some key benefits of OER include increased student advocacy by lowering costs, promoting social responsibility through open access, and allowing for customization and collaboration without copyright issues. However, some challenges of OER are ensuring quality control as materials proliferate, difficulty finding appropriate resources, lack of options to revise content, potential low visual interest, and accessibility issues. The document provides examples of these benefits and challenges in using OER over traditional textbooks.
This document discusses research identifying different categories of open educational resource (OER) users:
- OER active users are engaged with the OER community, understand licenses, and actively create and share resources.
- OER as facilitator users see OER as a pragmatic tool to achieve other goals rather than the primary focus.
- OER consumers use OER alongside other materials without differentiating, have low awareness of licenses, and view OER as optional extras.
The research was based on surveys of over 7,000 respondents from various OER projects. It found evidence that users can move between these categories over time as their experience with and understanding of OER grows.
This document discusses open educational resources (OER) and the global OER movement. OER are teaching materials like textbooks, videos, and readings that are free to access and allow users to retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute the materials. The global OER movement aims to make education more affordable and accessible by promoting the creation and use of OER under open copyright licenses. Research shows that using OER can significantly reduce costs for students and lead to equal or better learning outcomes compared to traditional textbooks.
Open Educational Resources (OERs) are freely available educational materials that can be used and modified openly. OERs provide widespread access to courses from top universities and help make education more affordable by replacing expensive textbooks. However, OERs can be time-consuming to develop and implement due to a lack of support, and their content may disappear or become outdated. Overall, OERs present exciting new opportunities for supplemental and engaging educational resources, though they have not fully replaced textbooks for all subjects and classes.
Open educational resources (OER) have several advantages including easy access to course materials from multiple platforms for free, saving time and resources by sharing peer-reviewed content, and the ability to reuse and remix resources without copyright violations. However, OER also have disadvantages such as the time required to evaluate available content, breaking from the traditional textbook model which requires instructors to design more flexible courses, and needing further support for instructor and institutional awareness and training in using OER.
Benefits and challenges to Open Educational Resources (OER)Leisa Collins
This document summarizes open educational resources (OER). It defines OER as teaching and learning materials that are freely available online for anyone to use, such as individual resources or full courses. The document lists some benefits of OER for different groups, including easy access for students, wider reach for teacher expertise, and increased student capacity and partnerships for educational institutions. Some challenges of using OER are also presented, such as OER not being easily searchable, low public understanding of copyright laws, difficulties dedicating ongoing resources for content creation, and issues with sharing intellectual property.
Open Educational Resources (OER) have benefits such as reducing textbook costs to increase enrollment of underprivileged students, allowing more people to contribute to shared knowledge repositories, and providing easier access to educational materials. However, OER also face challenges like ensuring quality control of content, requiring additional class preparation time to find suitable materials, and potentially pushing online classes towards a lowest common denominator effect through over-copying of available content.

Designing for Diversity: Creating Learning Experiences that Travel the GlobeUna Daly
Workshop Title:
Designing for Diversity: Creating Learning Experiences that Can Travel the Globe
This highly interactive workshop will introduce and explore pedagogical, technical and policy-based strategies to design, create and deliver OER/OCW learning experiences that can be used by the broadest range of learners globally. Workshop participants will be exposed to a variety of tools while collaboratively creating educational resources that are amenable to translation across cultures, languages, formats, technical platforms, learning approaches, modes of interaction and sensory modalities.
The one consistent and predictable quality of learners is that they are diverse. Among the many differences, they differ in their expectations, language, learning approaches, priorities, culture, background knowledge, age, abilities, motivations, literacy, habits, learning context, available technology and skills. If the goal is to achieve the largest impact and support learners in reaching their optimum then the most important design criteria is to design OCW/OER for diversity.
There are tools, toolkits and guidelines available to support the creation of engaging, flexible and translatable learning experiences. There are also international research and innovation communities that support the advancement of inclusive design.

This document discusses open education and open educational resources (OER). It defines open education as forms of education where knowledge and teaching methods are freely shared online. The open education movement is based on sharing knowledge freely and enabling collaboration. OER include textbooks, courseware, activities, and media that can be reused, redistributed, revised, and remixed under open licenses like Creative Commons. Using OER lowers costs, increases access, and allows for adaptable, learner-designed materials through community sharing. The conclusion states that sharing is the basic characteristic of education.
OER Vetting: Cultural Relevance, Accessibiilty, & LicensingUna Daly

Finding Open Textbooks and CA State OER InitiativeUna Daly
Presented by Una Daly, Community College Outreach Director, at the Mid-Pacific ICT 2013 Conference in San Francisco January 3rd.
The state of California recently adopted legislation to develop open textbooks for the 50 highest enrolled college classes and store them in a statewide repository. The goal of the legislation is expanding access to education by saving students thousands of dollars each year in textbook costs. A key component of this equation is the adoption of open textbooks by the faculty and staff who support students and their learning.
Come to this session to learn more about finding, selecting, and adopting open textbooks and OER to enhance student learning. Case studies from the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources will be shared and an invitation to join their open and collaborative Advisory Board will be extended

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
