The document discusses the increasing use of mobile internet and wireless devices by Americans from 2008 to 2009. It notes that by 2009, over half of American adults accessed the internet wirelessly, and one-third used their cell phone or smartphone for internet activities like email and information seeking. The document also references sources that discuss the erosion of boundaries between work and personal time and physical and virtual spaces due to internet connectivity, and the importance of trust, transparency, and two-way conversations in online government community engagement.
ETUG Fall Workshop 2013: Beyond effectiveness &efficiencyBCcampus
This document summarizes a keynote presentation about emerging technologies and open practices in education. It discusses how MOOCs and other open online learning are often seen as solutions but may actually be symptoms of larger problems in higher education. The presentation explores open scholarly practices on social media and criticisms of the dominant narratives around technology and online learning. It also summarizes research finding that learners in open online courses value flexibility but question commitment and instructional design, and appreciate opportunities for open learning.
Leveraging Openness and Collaboration at the JIBCBCcampus

Description: The JIBC is funded differently than other BC post-secondary institutions, and as a result has learned to be very entrepreneurial. This presents an obvious challenge in any discussions about openness. We are pleased to be able to present JIBC examples of openness that are benefitting the institution and our communities. In our case study/demo we will present examples of how we have leveraged openness to extend our collaborations with the communities that we work with. These ""small-but-mighty"" bridges have also been important in creating opportunities and extending the relevance of JIBC beyond our programs and courses.
In our Emergency Management division, an Innukshuk funded project involved collaboration with the RCMP as well as municipalities, agencies, divisions, consultants, developers, and individuals. CMD 130 - Incident Command Level 300 - resulted in the development of a collaborative environment, open courseware, and myemresources.com, a Drupal site for public access to emergency management resources. This has generated interest and use that extends far beyond the JIBC or the RCMP, resulting in interest from multiple disciplines for current and relevant emergency/crisis management information. In addition, deliverables from this project were then used to develop JIBC’s first iPhone and iPad app: an emergency management media rich glossary.
JIBC has also benefitted from other initiatives and institutions who have adopted open creative commons licensing. We have integrated UBC learning commons resources into our own learning commons as well as student orientation materials. We are also developing our first course that uses some open content from Connexions, and at the request of the course author, will then be released as CC BY SA content.
Our presentation will involve role-playing scenario-based group activity (approx 10-15 min) that will highlight the importance of having public emergency management resources in order for small communities to make informed decisions.

How Free is Free?: Building courses with OERsBCcampus
This document discusses a project between the University of the West Indies and Athabasca University to develop university courses using Open Educational Resources (OERs). The project aimed to find and integrate relevant OERs into curriculum outlines for 6 courses. Over 60 hours of searching identified 133 OERs from repositories and general internet searches. While many relevant OERs were found, issues included varying quality, lack of context provided, and most resources being text or slides with little interactive content. The project concluded that with time and effort, OERs provide a viable and low-cost option for course development, though localization and standardization of licenses need improvement.

El documento describe los esfuerzos del Centro Ocupacional Isla para facilitar la inserción laboral de una mujer con discapacidad visual en un hotel. Se realizó un análisis de sus funciones como ayudante de camarera y se adaptaron las tareas con imágenes para mejorar su comprensión y autonomía. El material adaptado tuvo éxito, permitiendo que completara con éxito un período inicial de 3 meses y renovando su contrato por 3 meses más.
