Open online courses and massively untold storiesLeigh Blackall
This paper accounts for a small range of open online courses that helped to inform the early development of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It laments the loss of meaning in the word open and its historic alignment to free and open source principles. It calls for more academic work to better represent the histories and range of critical perspectives on open online courses, and outlines how Wikipedia can be used as a central organising platform for such work.

Using Web 2.0 Tools to Create a Professional Learning EnvironmentJulie Lindsay
Every professional educator needs online spaces for portfolio development and fostering interaction and collaboration. This presentation will look at online tools that can be used to collate and present resources, to invite community interaction and contributions and to use as a platform for personal expression. It will take the perspective of the educator who has needs for storage of ideas and tools, presentation of educational artefacts, collaboration and access to other educators online. Using freely available Web 2.0 tools every educator can develop a PLE to complement their educational objectives. This presentation is produced using established online resources including blogging, wiki development, social networking tools and podcasting.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

• April 2006, UC Berkeley announced its plan to put complete
academic courses on Apple’s iTunes U
• October 2007, the school launched UC Berkeley on YouTube
“Learning is not a product of schooling
but the lifelong attempt to acquire it.”
Albert Einstein
The school has had well
over 120 million downloads
since first sharing videos
online
3. Benjamin Hubbard, the Manager of Webca
Reasons why faculty should
publish lectures online:• For students to have access
to materials
• For cultivating a really great
affinity for a public university
• For providing educational resources all over the world
“It’s so important that we recognize as a public institution
that this is something people value greatly and has great value for us too”
4. The Web has unlocked the
keys to a worldwide virtual
school, potentially leveling
the playing field for students
around the world
5. Knowledge should be open to all to both use and contribute to.
It’s this intuitive philosophy that forms the base of The Open
Education Movement, which has been gaining momentum since
2006, the same year Dr. Dan Colman, launched Open Culture.
It is the greatest free cultural and educational media website, it

P2PU started in 2008 and launched its first 6 peer-based, free
courses on 09/09/09. The courses had 15-20 people enrolled for 6
weeks. Each subsequent cycle, the number of courses nearly
doubled. The most recent, 4th cycle had 60 courses with 20
people in each course. P2PU had to turn down nearly 17,000
additional people who applied.

in science education and science in general,
which is a huge problem today.
14. Skype’s Role
”We created Skype in the Classroom to help like-minded
teachers collaborate on projects and share resources. Skype can
connect children globally for shared learning experiences and is
low-cost and simple to use”
Jacqueline Botterill
Skype’s global platform and massive user adoption makes it one
of the most influential technologies in changing the reach of
education.
Jacqueline Botterill leads Skype’s CSR (corporate/social
responsibility) initiatives for Skype in Europe. Skype in the
Classroom, which launched
March 30th, 2010, is one of the
company’s first forays into
the education sphere.
15. Teach the World Online is using Skype to give young
students in Haiti and Cambodia access to English teachers.
The News Literacy Program is also using Skype so
journalists can give guest lectures to students all over the
world on how to sort fact from fiction in the digital age. At
the moment, Skype is speaking with a number of different
organizations that are trying to level the playing field of
access to education.

to continue learning and to acquire new
information and new knowledge, but they only
partially address furthering education. An
education is more than just passively listening
to lectures.”Dr. Dan Colman, Editor of Open Cultur
The Internet alone won’t be able to replace
higher education. We need a better integration
between the videos we’re capturing in the classroom
and the experience learners have when interacting in
a social context. Online, you don’t get that same sort
of feedback.
