This document summarizes discussions from several international workshops focused on open education ethics. The workshops used various formats and processes to discuss how openness in education could potentially be "destroyed" or broken open in unintended ways. Suggestions included focusing only on certain regions, viewpoints or languages, ignoring issues of diversity and equity, and assuming universal access to technology. Participants also discussed how to improve open education by increasing inclusion, collaboration across borders and languages, accessibility, and student involvement in creating open educational resources.
The document discusses open educational resources (OER) and open educational practices (OEP). It defines OER as educational resources with an open license allowing reuse, revision, remixing, and redistribution. OEP aim to improve education quality and innovation through the use of OER with a focus on equity and openness. Examples of OEP provided include open textbooks that are interactive, collaborative, and accessible, as well as opening up the syllabus for student input. The document advocates for treating education as learner-driven and community-focused over solely prioritizing content.
I ran through these 20 slides in 5 minutes at the 2017 #GoOpen Exchange. References are to Erik Olen Wright's work on Real Utopias (http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/~wright/ERU.htm) and Robin DeRosa's Open Anthology (https://robinderosa.net/)
This is an overview of my application of Erik Olen Wright's "Real Utopias" framework as a way ground open education. I included the references in the final two slides that weren't in the original conference presentation.
Open education has the potential to transform existing educational institutions into more equitable and democratic forms. However, open education lacks a unified theoretical framework. Erik Olin Wright's framework of "real utopias" provides a way to theorize open education through four tasks: 1) specifying moral principles like equality and democracy, 2) critiquing current systems, 3) developing accounts of open education as a viable alternative, and 4) proposing strategies for transformation. A theory of open education as a real utopia could help sustainably guide its development and prevent cooptation.
Establishing the Actual Costs of Textbooks: Data from Virginia's Community Co...Jamison Miller
This study examined the actual costs of textbooks for full-time community college students in Virginia intending to transfer to a four-year institution. Researchers developed a standardized first-year course schedule and collected textbook cost data from the bookstores of 23 community colleges. For fall 2016, the average minimum textbook costs was $413 while the average maximum was $637. Preliminary data for the full first-year schedule found an average minimum of $869 and average maximum of $1,351. The study aims to complete spring 2017 data and report findings to help understand real textbook costs for community college students.
Research methods for CDA of open policy in VirginiaJamison Miller
These slides are from my presentation in a research seminar course where I am designing a study that will be part of my PhD dissertation. I outline my theoretical framework in critical theory and semiotics, the approach of critical discourse analysis (CDA), data collection and data analysis.
This document discusses Jamison Miller's proposed dissertation research on teaching and learning with open educational resources (OER). Miller plans to examine how students use OER in their coursework and learning, and how instructors implement OER in their instruction and whether this influences their pedagogical practices. The research will use case studies of OER programs at community colleges in Virginia. It will apply the theoretical frameworks of sociocultural theory, cognitive information processing, and emotions/interest/flow to analyze the relationships between OER use and pedagogy. The goal is to explore whether OER enables a shift from pedagogies of scarcity to those of abundance.

spend $130M/year
on textbooks and the results are:
• Books are (on average) 7-10 years out of date
• Paper only / no digital versions.
• Students can’t write / highlight in books
• Students can’t keep books at end of year
• All rights reserved… teachers can’t update
• Parents often pay for lost paper books…

Increased
pedagogical flexibility
Improved course
completion rates
31. Increase Equity
All students have access to high
quality learning materials that have
the most up-to-date and relevant
content because OER can be freely
copied and distributed to anyone.
32. Save Money
Switching to OER enables schools to
repurpose funding spent on static
textbooks for other pressing needs.
Replacing just one textbook can free
up tens of thousands of dollars
available for other purposes.

34. Open Textbooks have saved students:
with an additional $53 million projected
through academic year 2015/16
35. Keep Content Relevant, Effective & High
Quality
Traditional textbooks are perpetually
outdated, forcing districts to re-invest
to replace them.
CC licenses allow educators to maintain
the quality and relevance of their OER
through continuous updates.
36. Empower Teachers
OER empower teachers as creative
professionals by giving them the
ability to adapt and customize
learning materials to meet the needs
of their students without breaking
copyright laws.
