1) OPEN stands for Open Educational Resources, Open Pedagogy, and Open Access. OER are teaching resources that can be freely used and modified, including full courses, materials, videos, and tools.
2) Using OER can significantly reduce student textbook costs, which have increased 812% since 1978 compared to a 3.2% inflation rate. High textbook costs negatively impact students' learning by causing them to not purchase or drop courses.
3) Open pedagogy focuses on community and collaboration over content, treating education as a learner-developed process rather than experts imparting knowledge. It enables customization of required texts and creative approaches to learning outcomes, assignments, and grading.
CCOTC16: OER Degree Pathways, Certificates, and CoursesUna Daly
A panel of Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) members will share how they are adopting OER for degree pathways, certificates, and courses at their colleges. CCCOER was founded in 2007 and now composes over 250 colleges in 21 states and provinces. Members collaborate online regularly at monthly webinars and advisory meetings and in-person at conferences on best practices for OER adoption. This cross-institutional sharing of open educational resources, open practices, open policies, and open research provides a powerful OER advocacy network for community colleges. New members have immediate access to online resources and a community of OER practitioners and experts who can help them launch their projects more efficiently and quickly. Meetups at regional and national conferences provide an opportunity to share and promote successful OER adoption strategies of our members with colleagues in higher education. Audience participation will be welcomed.
Our eLearning Panel will be moderated by Una Daly, CCCOER Director and our panelists include:
• James Glapa-Grossklag, Dean, Educational Technology, Learning Resources and Distance Learning
College of the Canyons
• Dana Hester, EdD, Dean, Social and Behavioral Sciences & Distance Education, Citrus College
• Elliot Jones, PhD, Music Professor and Open Textbook Author, Santa Ana College
June 8: Designing for Open Pedagogy with CCCOERUna Daly
Please join the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources (CCCOER) for a free and open webinar on Designing for Open Pedagogy. Open Pedagogy was first introduced by Lumen Learning co-founder David Wiley, as a way to capture how the use of OER can change educational practices. He relates that using OER in the same way as traditional textbooks is like driving an airplane down the road – it is missing out on what open can provide for student and teacher collaboration, engagement, and learning.
When: June 8, 10amPST/1pmEST
We will hear from two professors who have not only adopted OER but have redesigned their courses with the principles of open pedagogy. Although reduced cost is what originally attracted them to using OER, involving their students in creating and evaluating OER course materials has significantly increased student engagement and critical thinking and their courses are continually being updated and improved as a result.
Featured Speakers:
• Suzanne Wakim, Biology Faculty Butte College, OER Coordinator
Will share her open course design strategy where students in subsequent semesters build on the work of those before them to create an open textbook and ancillary material. Students discuss and decide on how best to present material in the book, what applications are relevant for each topic, and what materials can help other students learn the course content.
• Mike Elmore, Political Science Faculty, Tacoma Community College
Will share how he has engaged students in collaborative writing of an Introduction to Political Science open textbook. His students report that writing assignments take on new meaning when they realize that other people are going to read their work. Not just repeating what they have read or heard in class, they compare their understanding with their peers and collaborate to present their ideas in the best way possible.

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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

2. Open Educational Resources
OER are teaching, learning, and research resources
that reside in the public domain or have been
released under an intellectual property license that
permits their free use and repurposing by others.
Open educational resources include full courses,
course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming
videos, tests, software, and any other tools,
materials, or techniques used to support access to
knowledge.

• Reuse
• Remix
• Revise
• Retain
• Redistribute
Gratis/Libre
CC BY Yamashita Yohei flic.kr/p/uG21U
5. Save Students Money
• Students spend on average $1,200 a year on textbooks
(U.S. Public Interest Research Group, survey of 156 campuses in 33 states)
• That’s equal to more than 12% of PSU in-state
tuition!
• Since 1978, college textbook costs have increased
812%. To put that in context, it means that textbook
prices have increased at 3.2 times the rate of
inflation. (Mark J Perry, AEIdeas. http://www.aei.org)
• Used/rentals/ebooks don’t solve the problem. Used
textbooks are undermined by new editions, rentals
create a system where we remove books from
student hands. Many ebooks have expiration dates
and print limits.
CCBY Sean McMenemy flic.kr/p/8L2hMU
6. Effects of
Textbook Prices
• 60% of students report not
purchasing a required
textbook because of cost,
and 23% regularly go
without books due to cost
• 50% of students report
taking fewer courses due
to textbook costs
• 14% have dropped a
course and 10% have
withdrawn from a course
due to textbook costs
2012 Survey of 22,000 students, Florida Virtual Campus, comprised of the
12 universities and 28 colleges in the Florida state system.

7. When Universities Address
Textbook Costs:
Houston Community College
• OER --increase in class grade average, increase in
average score on departmental final exam, and a
lower course withdrawal rate. (2011, 690 students,
http://www.johnhiltoniii.org/)
Mercy College
• Pass rates 8.54% higher in OER math sections. (2012,
695 students, http://www.educause.edu/)
Tidewater Community College
• 90.4% retention rate in all-OER Z-degrees.
8. Textbook Costs REALLY Matter
to Students
• A 2014 survey found that nearly half of students
(49%) were actually willing to choose one
university over another if free textbooks were
provided all four years.
• The survey showed that college students currently
worry more about how they will afford required
college textbooks than they do about paying the
cost of tuition.

semester/

9. This is not (only) about COST
We could save students money in tons of
easy ways:
– Increase all class sizes to 100+;
– Increase all teaching loads to 6-6;
– Close the library! Close the gym!
– Turn off the heat!
Cheaper isn’t the (only) point. Affordability will
bring more students to the table and keep them
there. But that is only the beginning of how OER can
improve the learning process.
11. Open Pedagogy
• Community and collaboration over content.
• Connects the university with the wider public.
• Treats education as a learner-developed process.
• Is skeptical of hoops, products, end-points, experts,
& gatekeeping.
CC BY Tripp flic.kr/p/6K8Kmv

CCBYStateLibraryVictoriaCollegeflic.kr/p/bibPkt
19. Schedule of Work
Function of CONTENT:
for students to learn to identify what matters to them.
The shelf-life of discipline-specific content is short.
The shelf-life of learner-centered inquiry is forever.
CC BY Gayle Nicholson flic.kr/p/5wuqSd
20. CONTENT as
Dynamic
“The amount of
knowledge in the world
has doubled in the past
10 years and is [now]
doubling every 18
months…To combat the
shrinking half-life of
knowledge, organizations
have been forced to
develop new methods of
deploying instruction.”

CCBY Kevin Dooley flic.kr/p/5ttM97
22. Grading
• Training peer graders like we train standardized test
graders (the @Chris_Friend model)
• Open p2p Badges (the BC Campus model)
• Grading by contract and crowdsourcing (the
@CathyNDavidson model)
• Grading by guided, frequent self-evaluation (the
@Jessifer model)
• Grades that emphasize effort/engagement (the
@davecormier model)
“Every study of peer review among students shows that students
perform at a higher level, and with more care, when they know they
are being evaluated by their peers than when they know only the
teacher and the TA will be grading” ~Cathy N. Davidson
24. Open Access
• Intellectual Property Scholarly Dialogue
• CC Licenses Retain Copyright
• Open Access Journals & Peer Review
• Green and Gold OA Publishing
• Institutional Policies for OA
• Access is a Social Justice Issue
• The High Cost of Paywalls
25. Why Do You Do What You Do?
If you write to be read, to encourage critical thinking and
to educate, then why wouldn't you disseminate your
work as far as possible? Open access is the answer.

26. Going Open
• OER has to be gratis AND libre.
• Saving money is HUGE to students.
• OER can empower learners.
• Rhizomatic approaches honor student
contributions and enable lifelong learning.
• Content isn’t everything.
• Assignments should matter to students and
should involve their communities.
• Grading should match our pedagogy.
• Our courses are communities and communities
don’t have end dates.
• Scholarly work should be accessible to the public.
