This document summarizes the work of the OER Sverige partnership project. The project aimed to foster open collaboration on open educational practices among Swedish higher education institutions. It established a website that received over 12,000 unique visitors. The project held webinars to promote open learning and increase awareness of OERs. An evaluation found that the virtual organization and open webinars were effective at enhancing national collaboration on supporting teachers and students through improved access to high-quality OERs. Going forward, the project aims to establish networks and communities of practice to continue promoting OERs and open educational practices in Sweden.

OER In practice - "Small" languages

LangOER

This presentation discusses achievements in using small languages for open educational practices. It highlights teacher engagement, reuse of resources through localization, and community building through bottom-up and socially sustained open educational resources. The presentation questions how far open educational practices have progressed in content remixing and user engagement. It also discusses the openness of content remixing and different types of mixes that are embraced. Finally, it raises questions about balancing the value of open and non-open educational resources, the role of communities in open educational resource uptake, and embracing new spaces and modes of connectivity.

Session "OER in Practice"

LangOER

This document summarizes a discussion on open educational resources (OER) in higher education. Some of the key challenges to OER uptake mentioned include a lack of sharing culture and fears around openness, competition, and criticism. However, there are also digital scholars and a growing openness and connectivity. The discussion also touched on new business models for OER, the need to appropriately adapt OER for different local contexts and cultures, and the potential of community engagement and bottom-up initiatives to increase OER in lesser used languages. Recommendations included revitalizing commitments to OER focusing on lesser used languages, supporting collaboration across regions on OER quality, and being open to crowdsourced initiatives while supporting sustainability in lesser used

Sheli McHugh

During the planning of a new Learning Commons for The University of Scranton, Sheli McHugh contacted experienced Commons Coordinators, focusing on the experiences of Joe Fennewald and the Penn State Knowledge Commons. Through close consultation, McHugh was able to use Fennewald’s expertise to better develop Scranton’s new collaborative learning space. McHugh and Fennewald will discuss the scalability of building and managing a learning commons, best practices in collaborating with the wealth of experienced Coordinators in Pennsylvania, how different sized institutions can embrace a similar vision to create an innovative space for 21st century education, how to build partnerships with divisions on campus, and how to improve services in an existing Commons based on assessment.

LangOER

The document summarizes research on Lithuanian teachers' use of and attitudes toward open educational resources (OER). It finds that while teachers recognize the benefits of OER, many lack competence in finding, using, and producing legal and high-quality OER. A survey of 72 teachers showed most materials used were not OER, and teachers had limited awareness of licensing procedures. The research concludes Lithuanian teachers would benefit from support to better incorporate OER and understand associated legal frameworks, in order to act as role models for students in the digital age.

The document discusses the cultural appropriation of open educational resources (OER) in different contexts. It makes three key points: 1) OER need to be fully integrated and adapted to local contexts and educational cultures in order to be effectively utilized. Resources may remain unexplored if the adaptation is not appropriate for the end users' teaching beliefs, values, and philosophy. 2) Various pedagogical dimensions like assessment, teacher-learner roles, and epistemological beliefs can be interpreted differently across cultures. An approach seen as central in one culture may seem inappropriate in another. 3) Facilitators of OER adaptation played an active role in linguistically, organizationally, pedagogically,

MOOCs for Language learning and Opportunities

LangOER

This document summarizes a discussion about making MOOCs more reusable in different contexts. Key points addressed were how to build in adaptability from the start using open source programs and low adaptation costs. Another topic was the downfalls of openness in online education, with solutions focusing on making it easier to add third party support services for translation, English as a second language, and online study skills. Recommendations included collaborating with other institutions to stimulate communities of practice and making it easier to add third party support services.

Mart Laanpere

This document discusses the development of eDidaktikum, an online community for scaffolding student teachers into digital culture. It notes that teachers often belong to a different digital culture than their students. eDidaktikum aims to provide a controlled environment and scaffolding to help student teachers develop skills in digital culture and a personal learning environment. It uses a design-based research approach and involves collaboration between researchers and practitioners. The concept involves communities for sharing resources and assessments connected to learning outcomes. A prototype was piloted in 2014 and the new version is now being used in teacher education courses, with feedback being gathered to further improve the system.

Digital Commons Institutional Repository: Roles for Library Liaisons

Sammie Morris

The document discusses plans to launch an institutional repository (IR) called DigiNole Commons at Florida State University to promote open access of scholarly works. A task force was established to raise faculty awareness of open access. The IR will use Digital Commons software and be managed by a library implementation team. It will contain works like faculty research, teaching materials, theses/dissertations, and department publications. The goals are to increase visibility of FSU research and save costs. Library liaisons will promote the IR and help faculty contribute works.

LangOER

- The ECML/ICT-REV project provides training workshops to help language teachers and professionals integrate technology and open educational resources into their teaching. - Over 15 years it has held workshops across Europe to extend knowledge of ICT tools, discuss pedagogical principles, and establish professional networks. - It maintains an inventory of over 80 freely available and evaluated ICT tools and OERs with examples of best practices and user feedback. - Next steps include requesting an ICT-REV workshop, exploring the inventory, and advocating for priority on appropriate teacher training programs.

This document summarizes a presentation on assessing the integration of library services into course management systems. Several librarians from different institutions discussed their experiences embedding library resources and services into platforms like Blackboard and Moodle. They described customizing library modules for specific courses and programs, collaborating with faculty, and piloting assessments of student learning and usage of integrated materials. Presenters emphasized the importance of obtaining usage data and finding better ways to promote library resources to faculty and students.

Short summary: "OER uptake for lesser-used languages"

LangOER

The document discusses language education for lesser-used languages in several European countries. It describes the current state of educational resources for languages like Sami in Finland, Basque in Spain, Hungarian in Slovakia, and Greek in Istanbul, Turkey. These languages have few commercially produced teaching materials and resources mainly consist of paper translations. The document concludes that European language policies do not mention open educational resources (OER) as a way to address the scarcity of materials. Adapting and reusing OER from majority languages could increase resources for lesser-used language educators and students. However, European OER policies have not yet engaged regional and minority language stakeholders.
