Open learning in higher education an institutional approachBrian Murphy
The vaue of open learning can be a conflict within higher education instituions. This presentation is the result of an instituional review and research on the open education movement in higher education, given greater impetus by the advent of the MOOC. The journey of exploring MOOCs resulted, ironically, in an enhanced apreciation of OERs and revised strategic thinking of their impact for teaching and research, especially when viewed as a vehicle of co-creation between staff and students. Once value is attached, the principle becimes embedded and accepted rarher than an additional burden of academic endeavour; and the door is opened to the business case for systems, investment and development as well as academic development, support, reward and recognition.

8. Metropolitan Agriculture
Concepts:
1. Response to global challenge created by the
evolving agriculture, food and resource
needs of highly concentrated metropolitan
regions throughout the world.
2. Complement to other agricultures and not a
substitute.
3. Ensure the production and service potential
of agriculture is boosted to sustainably serve
the diverse demands of metropolitan
consumers.
4. Gives agriculture a unique, indispensable
and sustainable place in metropolitan
regions.

9. Open/Participatory Learning Modified:
1. Given new field, experts define what is known
2. Students assumed to be professionals
3. Student engagement through discussion, webconferences
and sharing of plans
4. Project oriented—multiple cases presented

10. 1. Instructor time for development
2. Making content open
3. Too much information to convey in webcasts
4. Need more interaction in webcasts
5. Tracking of webcast participation
6. Development of credit option
7. Need better discussion forum tool
8. Better communication/email tool

15. What is Food Safety Knowledge Network
• Developed a competency framework with industry
experts from around the world
• Developed and aggregated resources aligned with
the 13 key areas outlined in the competency
framework
• Developed a competency-mapping tool
• Developed a bank of test items assessing the 13
competency areas
• Piloted the model through online and face-to-face
trainings in developing countries
w w w. m s u g l o b a l . c o m
16. Technology Design
• Two websites—repository and competency site which
scrapes resources
• Identify existing resources and pull them
• open source technology
• creating an open source tool to map the OER to the
competency frameworks,
• open source Creative Commons DiscoverEd search tool to
improve the discoverability of FSKN resources, later a version
written in Nutch was used
w w w. m s u g l o b a l . c o m
17. Results
• Five pilot groups collaborated with the Food Safety
Knowledge Network for training resources and assessments
• All of the pilot programs demonstrated effectiveness of the
nearly 90 training resources developed through the FSKN
pilots.
• There was a 6-16% increase in score between the pre and
post-assessment. Those with the lowest scores on the pre-
tests showed the most improvement.
• The online learners preferred the audio files resources when
compared to video.
w w w. m s u g l o b a l . c o m
18. The Future of FSKN
• World Bank has asked MSU because of faculty and FSKN to
participate in a new endeavor called Global Food Safety
Partnership
• Will include MOOCs and redesign of FSKN to include more
meta-data, collaboration, harvesting, federation, platform
independence (but required specifications)
• FSKN will be enhanced regardless
