Open Education + UN Sustainable Development GoalsCable Green
http://sched.co/AF02
The world’s nations have adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG4 is about “Education: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.” This session will explore how and why the global open education community can work with their national governments to mainstream Open Educational Resources (OER) in support of achieving SDG4.
What educational policy needs OER for, and what policy support does OER need?Dominic Orr
Presentation at: OER15 - 6th International Conference on Open Education – “'Mainstreaming Open Education”
Cardiff, 15 April 2015
Although Open Educational Resources (OER) have been one of the mainstays of discussion on open education over the past decade, we are now noticing a renewed attention of policy makers in the topic. Whilst many really cool initiatives are to be found around the world (for instance in Germany http://ow.ly/EdLOX ), OER can really only realize its potential in the mainstream, if it tackles mainstream problems. That means that it is important to re-start the discussion on OER so that there is a focus on OER as a means to an end, i.e. OER contributing to improving various aspects of education (see blog from TJ Bliss from the Hewlett Foundation: http://tjbliss.org/musings-on-oer-policy/ ). The Open University’s OER Research Hub, for instance, poses hypotheses about the benefits of OER (http://oerresearchhub.org/collaborative-research/hypotheses/). The most recent CERI/OECD report on OER (http://www.oecd.org/edu/ceri/open-educational-resources-oer.htm ), looks instead for typical problems in education systems first and searches for solutions which involve OER production and use. In a second step it looks to see whether the expected potential of OER is being realised. In this way, it can also formulate an assessment of the status quo and encourage a discussion on what policy interventions can do to help OER realise this potential. The report, which will be published late spring 2015, identifies six typical problems in education, which can benefit from OER production and use.

Stories? Scenarios? BDD? Are these just more words in the ever-growing list of jargon that developers have to know? Or are they something more important than new terms to memorise?
In this session we'll look at how BDD fits into the software development work-flow, how to tell user stories through features, and what makes a good feature file.
These techniques will help to ensure you're writing well designed and tested software that focuses on what the users really want from a system.

‘Everything Available’ – a vision for the development of the British Library ...Torsten Reimer
Presentation given at the annual RLUK (Research Libraries UK) conference on Thursday 9th March 2017. I discuss the British Library's 'Everything Available' portfolio that aims to transform the Library's research services, in particular around discovery, access and use of content.
Since 2015, we’ve made 28 core investments in family comms, differentiating instruction, real-world relevance, & data-driven improvement.
Now, after seven years and a ground-shifting global pandemic, we’re taking a step back to reflect on what we got right, what we didn’t expect, and how we can be more effective going forward.
This K-12 Impact Report is our first attempt to examine the collective influence that our portfolio has had on the K-12 education sector.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

5. OER can be the education resources to
teach the public about and are
continuously updated by working on
SDGs.
Connects education to solving SDGs:
Forms a new, positive connection
between governments and their
public education systems.
6. Global challenges / SDGs are
constantly changing.
OER can be updated in real time.
7. In US higher education alone, David Wiley*
estimates students spend 40 million hours
on “disposable assignments” annually.
What are the numbers in other nations?
This time / effort could be re-tasked to build,
revise, remix, and curate OER to work on /
solve SDGs.

8. Open pedagogy / praxis: Shift to students
and teachers / faculty building, revising
and creating community around OER.
Students can contribute to improving
curriculum, work on complex and
authentic problems (e.g., SDGs), and
have their work be used in their fields.
9. Students want their work to make a difference in the
world.
Since this work is more meaningful and the stakes
are higher (e.g., climate action, zero hunger,
gender equality, no poverty), students are
motivated to work smarter, learn more deeply,
have an opportunity to contribute to society – by
producing, revising, and sharing OER about SDGs
- while they earn their degree.
